Following a painful 0-3 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, the pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot is intensifying, reigniting talk of a potential managerial change at Anfield.

Amid a series of disappointing Premier League results, bookmakers have identified a leading candidate to replace the Dutchman. In a surprising twist, their favourite is none other than Jürgen Klopp. The legendary former manager is currently heading Red Bull's global football project, but bookmakers are offering odds of 4/1 on a sensational return to his old post.

Despite the growing speculation over his position, Arne Slot has insisted he is focused on reversing the team's fortunes. In the aftermath of the loss, he stated his intention not to look for excuses elsewhere.

According to Slot, he "won’t be blaming the referees" and "fully accepts responsibility for the setback." He emphasized that "the team must improve," and while he "still believes in his players’ potential," he acknowledged that "the current results are unacceptable—and he acknowledges that the responsibility is his alone."
