ALL eyes are on Mohamed Salah’s uncertain future at Liverpool as Arne Slot tries to shut out the noise and prepare his men to face Brighton this weekend.

The Egyptian superstar has hinted today’s match at Anfield could be his last for the Premier League champions, taking aim at manager Slot and the club hierarchy in an explosive interview.

Leaders Arsenal host winless Wolves, who have lost their past eight games and are already 13 points from safety. Manchester City, now just two points behind the Gunners, face a tricky trip to London to face Oliver Glasner’s inform Crystal Palace.

Here we look at three talking points ahead of the action:

Salah in the spotlight

It is difficult to see a way back for Mohamed Salah at Anfield unless he apologises to Arne Slot and the club.

The forward accused Liverpool of throwing him “under the bus” and said he had no relationship with the Dutch manager after he was left on the bench for last week’s 3-3 draw at Leeds -— the third match in a row that he did not start.

The 33-year-old did not travel for Tuesday’s Champions League match at Inter Milan, which Liverpool won 1-0, posting a picture of himself alone in a gym on social media.
