Last week we built an all-time Premier League XI. This week, we're building the worst team of the season so far (Depending if this season actually ends) We take a look at players that haven't had the best of times this season.

The biggest game of the season so far, two giants clashing and its Liverpool who come out on top. Pep certainly was not happy as he quite clearly loses his mind on the touchlineSo does this Liverpool victory mean the title race is over? We'd like to think not, in Brenden Rodger's men we trust. The man has already cost Liverpool a league title, can he do it all over again? Massive VAR calls once again, offsides, handballs, you name it, VAR can't.. THATS THE ISSUE!
