Liverpool have now suffered nine defeats in their last 12 games across all competitions following Tuesday\u2019s 4-1 Champions League loss to PSV. The team has slipped out of the Premier League\u2019s top half and currently sit below Everton, who beat Manchester United 1-0 on Monday.
\nThe upcoming eight days could be crucial for Arne Slot, with Liverpool travelling to West Ham and Leeds before hosting Sunderland on December 2. Club legend Jamie Carragher wrote in The Telegraph that Slot has these three matches to \u201csave his job\u201d, insisting that anything fewer than seven points would leave his position \u201cuntenable\u201d.
\nAlthough Liverpool rarely dismiss managers midway through a season\u2014Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers being rare exceptions\u2014reports suggest that if Slot is removed, the club would first consider asking Jurgen Klopp to return on an interim basis until the campaign ends.
\nTheir long-term target is said to be PSG manager Luis Enrique, who led the French side to their first Champions League title last season.
\nLiverpool and PSG met in Europe last term, with the Reds winning 2-1 at Anfield to level the tie. Before that match, Enrique praised Liverpool, describing them as one of Europe\u2019s top sides in recent years. He highlighted their strong Champions League form and credited Slot for building a balanced, well-organised team capable of pressing, defending, and attacking with equal precision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
