November 2025

Mohamed Salah was dropped to the bench for Liverpool’s trip to West Ham as Arne Slot reacted to a brutal 4-1 home defeat to PSV and a run of six league losses in seven games, choosing a reshuffled forward line after four matches in ten days.

The Sweden striker’s ongoing drought and the team’s collapsing form will intensify scrutiny on Slot’s selections and ability to halt the slide.
