For the first time since arriving at the club, Slot suffered three defeats in a row after Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Reds now enter their clash against Manchester United in second position after being knocked off top spot by Arsenal.

Slot would have been pleased to see Gakpo round off the scoring, but equally worried that Gravenberch was taken off at half-time as a precaution after experiencing some hamstring discomfort. Liverpool will now be hoping that the injury to Gravenberch isn’t serious, as he’s an essential cog in Slot’s machine.

Gravenberch was poor against Galatasaray as Liverpool slipped to a 1-0 defeat, and should he miss the Man United clash, he will either be replaced by Curtis Jones in the middle of the park or Dominik Szoboszlai.
