SLOT MACHINE HAS STALLED BUT THERE WILL BE NO FORGIVING DEFEAT AGAINST RIVALS

UNLIKE Ruben Amorim, Arne Slot is not fighting to keep his job.

- BY JEREMY CROSS

Unlike Amorim, Slot has lots of credit in the bank.

And unlike Amorim, Slot and his team will be right in the thick of the title race this season.

So how come it feels like there is more pressure on the Kop boss, than his opposite number at Anfield this afternoon?

Losing to Manchester United at home is not acceptable for a Liverpool boss.

But losing to this current United side is bordering on unforgivable.

No United team has won at Anfield since 2016.

Since then, we've had six different Prime Ministers, one pandemic and peace has broken out in the Middle East.

Which means all hell will break loose on Merseyside this weekend if Liverpool don't get back to winnings ways, at the expense of a club they love to hate the most.

Slot headed into the international break with his head in a spin, having seen his team lose three games on the trot.
