Arne Slot tampak frustrasi di Villa Park saat ia berusaha menjelaskan kegagalan pertahanan yang kembali terjadi, yang membuat harapan Liverpool di Liga Champions kini bergantung pada benang tipis. Pelatih The Reds itu mengakui bahwa timnya terlalu memudahkan lawan-lawannya, setelah kekalahan 4-2 tersebut menandai kekalahan ke-20 yang mengejutkan dalam musim yang penuh penderitaan.
Chelsea dilaporkan hampir mencapai kesepakatan untuk menunjuk Xabi Alonso sebagai manajer tetap baru mereka. The Blues dijadwalkan akan melanjutkan negosiasi lanjutan setelah tampil di final Piala FA pada Sabtu mendatang. Pelatih berusia 44 tahun itu kini menjadi kandidat terkuat di antara sejumlah nama besar lainnya.
Upaya Liverpool mempertahankan gelar yang berantakan mencapai titik terendah baru pada Jumat malam saat mereka dihancurkan oleh Aston Villa yang akan berlaga di Liga Champions — hasil yang membuat harapan mereka untuk lolos ke kompetisi tersebut terancam. The Reds terus-menerus diganggu oleh Ollie Watkins sepanjang pertandingan, dengan striker Inggris itu mencetak dua gol dan memberikan satu assist. Kekalahan 4-2 ini membuat tim asuhan Arne Slot berada di peringkat kelima Liga Premier, unggul empat poin dari Bournemouth di peringkat keenam dengan selisih satu pertandingan lebih banyak.
Crystal Palace dilaporkan telah menetapkan harga jual untuk Adam Wharton, demikian diungkapkan Clinton Morrison kepada GOAL, dan kemungkinan besar gelar juara Conference League saja tidak akan cukup untuk mempertahankan gelandang yang dikaitkan dengan Manchester United dan Liverpool itu di Selhurst Park. Minat terhadap pemain berbakat berusia 22 tahun ini diperkirakan akan terwujud secara resmi selama jendela transfer musim panas, dengan kemungkinan kesepakatan bernilai besar yang akan terwujud.
Manchester United dipastikan akan mengangkat Michael Carrick sebagai manajer tetap setelah mencapai kesepakatan dengan pelatih sementara tersebut. Mantan gelandang timnas Inggris itu telah menunjukkan performa yang mengesankan sebagai pelatih sementara, membawa klub kembali ke Liga Champions. Tampaknya ia akan mendapat penghargaan atas prestasi tersebut, karena petinggi klub bersiap menunjuknya sebagai manajer tetap yang baru.
