On Wednesday, Slot received a red card during the intense derby between Liverpool and Everton. The match was filled with chaos and drama, leaving Liverpool with a lot to process and move on from before their upcoming game against Wolves in the Premier League this weekend. It was the final derby at Goodison Park before Everton moves to their new stadium this summer.
The Reds had a strong start, thanks to Mohamed Salah who had them on track for a victory. However, James Tarkowski's spectacular equalizer for David Moyes' team halted Liverpool's momentum and resulted in a draw. While it was a disappointing outcome for Liverpool, they are still seven points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the league. This news was a bit of a blow to Arsenal, who are also dealing with the loss of Kai Havertz for the rest of the season.
Unfortunately, Curtis Jones will not be able to join his team on the field this weekend due to his post-match altercation with Abdoulaye Doucoure, which resulted in a red card. This leaves him suspended for the game at Anfield. In addition, Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also shown red cards by referee Michael Oliver for using offensive language during the chaotic ending of the match at Goodison.
Initially, it was reported that Slot would face a two-match ban as a result of his actions, but that statement was later deleted. As of now, Slot will still be able to coach from the sidelines, but the Football Association will review Oliver's report before making a final decision on any further consequences.
If Slot does end up with a touchline ban, he will not be allowed near the dugout or touchline two hours before the match and two hours after it has ended. As for the team, Liverpool has a nearly fully fit squad to choose from, with Trent Alexander-Arnold returning from an injury midweek. However, Joe Gomez is still being evaluated after being forced to leave last Sunday's game against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup.
Here is a predicted starting line-up for Liverpool's game against Wolves: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz. Fans can catch the game on Sunday at 2pm on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with a live stream available on Sky Go and NOW TV for subscribers.
