While Salah's future beyond that might not be secure yet, with discussions set to continue while he's away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool will be eager to pick up another win and ease some of the pressure that has been placed on Slot recently. “It's a really tough game for Liverpool,” Shearer told Betfair.
