Arne Slot (Liverpool)
November 2025
After seven straight wins, Liverpool have lost six of seven, including four league defeats. Slot, who questioned squad depth despite heavy summer spend, faces Villa, Real Madrid, then Manchester City before the break, trailing leaders Arsenal by seven points. Rotation, injuries, and two-day turnarounds exposed cohesion issues. Youth-heavy cup lineups struggled; senior stars return for a brutal stretch. Expect tighter rotations, clearer pressing triggers, and set-piece focus to stabilize results before Champions League and Etihad tests decide momentum into the break.
