Game over for Curtis Jones as three clubs circle England midfielder

Jones dropped for big game once again

Therefore the City game at Anfield was a big test for Slot in relation to his use of Jones. Of course he opted to use the homegrown player only from the bench - offering him the last few minutes of the controversial 2-1 defeat.

That will be a source of huge disappointment for Jones - whose contract expires in less than 18 months. Liverpool showed signs of being ready to cash in on Jones in the January window - listening to interest from Tottenham and Inter Milan.
