Liverpool are preparing for this weekend’s clash against Aston Villa after a huge defeat in midweek. Some sections of the fanbase have been calling for the sacking of Arne Slot, but he remains in charge.
The last update over the Dutch coach’s future was that possible contract negotiations have been stalled due to the poor run of form. The Reds have just one win in their last seven games in all competitions.
Liverpool are struggling, and no one can really pinpoint the reason why the team is so bad at this point of the season. Especially after they started the campaign very well, winning key games.
Update on Arne Slot sack decision ahead of Aston Villa game
As revealed earlier this week, there are no immediate plans to sack Arne Slot. There is hope in the coach to turn things around after he received significant backing in the transfer market.
Sources claim that the upcoming fixtures will play a huge part in any decision over the Dutchman’s future. Liverpool play Aston Villa this weekend, and then go on to face Real Madrid and Manchester City in what will be an intense week of football.
Arne Slot will have no excuses to produce a result against Aston Villa after resting most of his key players midweek. Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Cody Gakpo all sat out the game and will be ready this weekend.
Liverpool have also been handed a huge boost as Ryan Gravenberch could make his return from injury to face Unai Emery’s side.
Unai Emery will be a huge test for Liverpool
This weekend will not be an easy task for the Reds; they are coming off the back of another huge defeat. They will also be up against a very tough Aston Villa side who beat Manchester City last weekend.
| Wins | 6 |
| Draws | 2 |
| Losses | 2 |
Unai Emery seems to have found a working formula for his side after a poor start to the season. The Villans have four wins in their last five games in all competitions. Arne Slot will be hoping to learn a thing or two from Emery whose side overcame a poor run of form to find themselves in a good place over the past month.
