Reflecting on Slot's choice to make such drastic changes and leave out his star players, Shearer believes it's a massive gamble and the Liverpool boss will only know if it was the right decision if his team manages to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

If they win, he'll say it was the right decision - but they have to win now after that selection. "If they lose on Saturday, I don't see them in the title race.

It looks like a gamble that's backfired - but he can put it right on Saturday. They haven't done that, and they've been punished - all eyes are on Saturday evening at Anfield.
