Liverpool manager navigating disappointing title defence and Champions League qualification battle in 2026.
Arne Slot's Liverpool are battling for Champions League qualification in fourth place after a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, with the manager acknowledging that even three wins in their final matches would not silence critics of their disappointing title defence. Slot expects Mohamed Salah to return from injury before the season ends and has urged his squad to focus on securing a top-four finish as margins remain tight in the qualification race.
Eberechi Eze's early goal gave Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Newcastle on Saturday, moving the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League. Manchester City remain close behind on the same points but with fewer goals scored, with Arsenal able to extend their advantage before City's next match.
