"Arne Slot may have won his battle of wits with Mohamed Salah, but he remains under pressure as Liverpool manager. Recent wins over West Ham and Inter Milan have helped his cause, but with the defending champions 10th in the Premier League standings after 15 matches, it is imperative that regular wins are picked up over the coming weeks."
"Steven Gerrard is one possible candidate, with the Liverpool legend currently out of work. According to Football Insider, he would jump at the chance to come in and lead his former club on an interim basis. The appointment of an interim manager would likely be Liverpool's approach if Slot were to be sacked, given the lack of available candidates mid-season."
"Slot still has credit in the bank after leading Liverpool to the Premier League title last season, but if they continue to remain outside of the top places in the standings, it would be no surprise to see him relieved of his duties as manager."
Arne Slot remains under pressure as Liverpool manager despite recent wins over West Ham and Inter Milan. The defending champions sit 10th in the Premier League after 15 matches, making regular victories essential in the coming weeks. Liverpool dropped points at home to Sunderland and away to Leeds, increasing scrutiny. Upcoming fixtures include Brighton, Tottenham, Wolves and Leeds over the festive period, and failure to win the majority would raise questions about Slot's future. Steven Gerrard is a possible interim candidate and reportedly would accept the role, with an interim appointment likely if Slot is sacked.
