Liverpool face Brighton at Anfield in the Premier League today, with the Reds hoping to take further pressure off manager Arne Slaughter following their win over Inter Milan in midweek.
Slott has come under increasing scrutiny as the fallout from Mohamed Salah’s explosive interview continues, with Salah’s future still the biggest talking point at Anfield despite Liverpool staying within the top eight of the Champions League table with victory at the San Siro.

The Egyptian has been left out of the squad for the trip to Milan amid rumors linking him with a move away from Anfield in January, and while Slott was supportive of the incident, things could fall apart quickly if the negative results continue.
The Reds’ tough games continue against Brighton, with the Seagulls finishing two spots above the home team before kick-off after last week’s draw with West Ham United.
