Slot says he won't be sacked if Liverpool fail to qualify for UCL

Arne Slot insists his position as Liverpool head coach is secure even if the Reds fail to qualify for the Champions League, despite admitting such a failure would be "unacceptable". The Dutchman believes the club's hierarchy will look beyond results to the wider "circumstances" of a traumatic season, citing the patience shown to Jurgen Klopp as a precedent for his own survival.

Slot on the brink: Top-five hopes hanging by a thread

On Sunday at Anfield, Liverpool lost to Manchester City for the second time this season. Arne Slot insisted after the 2-1 defeat that "the improvement" in his side since their demoralising 3-0 drubbing at the Etihad in November was "visible for everyone to see" and there were certainly some positive signs in the second half - but they still suffered a now almost-customary collapse in the closing stages.

Why Liverpool are stalling in push for €100m-rated Diomande

Liverpool are holding off from making a transfer move for RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande due to contractual complications. The Reds are thought to be keen on the 19-year-old Ivory Coast international, who has scored seven Bundesliga goals so far this season, but the Merseysiders will wait to make their play due to some uncertainty over his personal situation. RB Leipzig reportedly value Diomande at €100 million (£87.15m/$118m), with the German side not looking to sell him unless a truly lucrative offer arrives.

Mohamed Salah is reportedly in talks with Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad over a potential move in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool made wrong call selling Diaz & keeping Gakpo.jpg

Liverpool selling Diaz & trusting in Gakpo was a huge mistake

Liverpool fans never fully appreciated Luis Diaz. Indeed, most of them seemed to welcome the Colombian's departure to Bayern Munich last summer, believing that his sale was necessary to accommodate £116 million ($158m) signing Florian Wirtz, with Cody Gakpo still on hand to fill the first-choice role on the left flank.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot was left raging at a “clear” red card for Manchester City defender Marc Guehi after seeing the Reds suffer a dramatic defeat to Pep Guardiola’s side at Anfield.

Manchester City match-winner Erling Haaland has spoken out against the decision to disallow Rayan Cherki's goal against Liverpool deep in stoppage time, with Dominik Szoboszlai instead sent off for a foul in the build-up.

Emery urges Liverpool to get Elliott out of 'damaging' loan limbo

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has urged Liverpool to change the terms of their loan agreement for Harvey Elliott. The midfielder swapped Anfield for Villa Park in the summer on a temporary deal which includes a clause that ensures a purchase option is triggered if he makes 10 appearances for the Midlands club.
