Of course, players have now been brought in, but with Giovanni Leoni ruled out with an ACL injury, Slot only has three senior options to choose from at centre-back, with Roy Keane believing that this could cost them the Premier League title.

At the moment, it feels like Liverpool are going to run away with the title.

“I’d like to go with Liverpool now, but I still think if Liverpool get one or two injured centre halves, there could still be a dip for Liverpool, no doubt about it,” he said.

During Jurgen Klopp’s era, one of the main things that held the club back was the number of injuries they suffered.

At the moment, Leoni is the only player who’s been ruled out for an extended period, but as Keane mentioned, if another centre-back is ruled out or someone such as Mohamed Salah gets a long-term injury, things could turn sour overnight.

At the moment, Slot’s men look well on course to retain the Premier League title and potentially even the Champions League, but for now, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen.
