Pressure Grows on Slot After Poor Title Defence
Liverpool’s title defence has got off to a stuttering start and with the club's Premier League form slipping, the pressure is mounting on boss Arne Slot.
Mohamed Salah went to war against Slot in the media on Saturday after he was left on the bench for the Reds for the third successive match.
A 3-3 draw with Leeds over the weekend left fans frustrated and Salah's comments have the bookies are reacting quickly.
Odds on Slot being the next Premier League manager to go have shortened dramatically and attention is turning to who could replace him in the Anfield hotseat.
Former Reds midfielder and current Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is the 2/1 favourite with BetVictor.

Xabi Alonso Leads The Market
Xabi Alonso, a former Liverpool midfield hero, is now 2/1 favourite to return to Merseyside in a managerial capacity.
His tenure at Real Madrid has come under scrutiny after several poor results, including the 2-1 home defeat to Manchester City in Europe last night, potentially putting him on the market sooner than expected.
His ties to Liverpool, tactical nous, and reputation for building young squads have made him a fan-favourite choice should Slot be relieved of his duties.
Other Contenders
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has impressed tactically in the Premier League and could be a left-field but logical option.
His ability to turn mid-table clubs into structured sides hasn’t gone unnoticed.
A romantic return for the man who built Liverpool’s recent dynasty also isn’t completely off the table.
With Jurgen Klopp not taking another managerial job yet, speculation continues.
What’s Next For Liverpool?
With a busy festive schedule ahead and the Africa Cup of Nations set to take Mohamed Salah away in mid-December, things could go from bad to worse if results don’t improve fast.
Anfield is not known for knee-jerk reactions, but with top-four football at stake and Champions League progress in jeopardy, a managerial change may become unavoidable.
For now it looks like the board will stand by their manager rather than Salah but all can change if results continue to be as they are.
