Storming their way to a stellar 6-0 romp against relegation scrappers Leeds earlier in the week, it appears that Liverpool have really breathed life back into their Premier League title charge.
Watching Manchester City get hit with that stunning last-gasp defeat against Tottenham last weekend, Jurgen Klopp s men have cut the deficit at the top of the table to just three points and the battle is really on.
However, while the likes of Wolves have continued to shine on their bid to book a shock top-four finish, some top-flight outfits have really struggled since opening 2022.
With the January transfer window slamming shut just over three weeks ago, we have taken a look at a handful of Premier League teams who find themselves in the midst of a recent struggle.

Gareth Southgate says he would find it impossible to make a logical decision on his England future before the Euro 2024 final.
The Three Lions are playing in the showpiece for the second consecutive Euros on Sunday, with Spain standing in the way of them winning their first major tournament in 58 years.
Under Southgate, England have reached at least the semi-finals in three of their four major tournaments, only failing to do so at the 2022 World Cup, when they were beaten by eventual finalists France in the last eight.
The manager s current contract runs out in December, with his uncertain future causing a lot of speculation.
Emotionally, it would be impossible for me to make a logical decision at the moment on any of that because my sole focus for two y…
Manchester United will sell Harry Maguire in the summer of 2023, according to . The England international central defender has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners plan to cash in on him at the end of the season.
Maguire has not always had the best of times at United and is not getting much playing time under head coach Erik ten Hag now. The Dutchman has used left-back Luke Shaw in central defence ahead of the former Leicester City star at times
It would make sense for United and Maguire to go their separate ways at the end of the season. Ten Hag clearly does not fancy the England international, who needs to play regularly to further his career. Maguire did well at Leicester and plays well for Eng…
With Juventus drawn against Barcelona in the last eight of the Champions League, Pavel Nedved believes his club are much stronger than when they were defeated by the same opponents in the 2015 final.
Barca triumphed 3-1 two seasons ago to seal a LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble, while Juve have not lifted the famous trophy since 1996.
Juve are seemingly set for a sixth successive domestic crown, but a third European Cup has continued to elude them as they seek to firmly establish themselves among the continent s elite.
It s a fascinating tie against Barcelona, said Juve vice president Nedved following Friday s draw in Nyon.
They are one of the most famous teams in the world and we only have to focus on the present knowing that we are a v…
Cristiano Ronaldo will pull on the Manchester United shirt for the first time in over 12 years on Saturday, with the five-time Ballon d Or winner all set for his second Red Devils debut.
Ronaldo secured his return to United at the end of the most recent transfer window, with the deal reportedly set to cost an initial £12.9million (€15m).
But it s fair to say the player United have re-signed is rather different to the one they sold for a then world-record fee.
Then a flying winger, Ronaldo has adapted his game as he s grown older and is now a clinical penalty box poacher – diminishing goal returns he may have, but 36 in all competitions last season would still have had him as the leading goalscorer in English football.
Saturday s visit of Newcastle Un…
The Thanksgiving holiday has everyone in a hurry, trying to wrap up a week’s worth of work in just three days while looking ahead to an extended break and eating turkey – in some form – for every meal. But in the midst of that holiday hoopla, things get missed and the work that is produced isn’t as sharp as usual.
The same things happen on the football field every week of the NFL season, as teams fall victim to situational spots that test their focus and fortitude. And there lies the value of NFL spot bets.
We scour the Week 12 slate – including the Thanksgiving Day games – for the best letdown, lookahead and schedule NFL spot bets to know before your place your bets.

The Kansas City Chiefs took care of business last week with a 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and now set their sights on an Indianapolis Colts team that has yet to win in 2022.
The Colts have had a horrendous start to the season, first tying in Week 1 with the Houston Texans and then following that up by being on the receiving end of a 24-0 beatdown courtesy of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Needless to say, starting off a playoff-hopeful season with those performances against two lowly franchises is less than ideal.
Can the Colts bounce back in a big way from the confines of Lucas Oil Stadium in their first home game of the season, or will Andy Reid have a bag of tricks up his sleeve on a long week of preparation following the Chiefs’ Thursday night triu…
Through two weeks of football action, I’ve noticed that most of my NFL picks have been on secondary players, rather than the stars and No. 1s on given rosters.
It’s a good thing too… because the stars have been dropping like flies: We’ve already lost Aaron Rodgers, J.K. Dobbins, and Nick Chubb for the year, while Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler, Aaron Jones, and Diontae Johnson are all also currently sidelined.
So, for my best bets based on the Week 3 odds, I bet on some high-profile quarterbacks — spitting in the face of the injury gods’ apparent wrath — and a kicker for good measure.
Today, we’re putting backups back into the spotlight, with a wide receiver to excel, one newly minted No. 1 to struggle… and then Zach Wilson…
The Arizona Cardinals are set to host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 odds. The Cardinals have the second-worst record in the league at 2-9 but things have been trending in the right direction after Kyler Murray returned to the team two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the Rams are trending in the opposite direction and have dropped six of their last nine contests. Bookmakers are expecting a close game with NFL odds installing the Rams as slim 1.5-point road favorites.
Here are my best free NFL picks for Rams vs. Cardinals on November 26.
