While the score currently remains goalless between West Ham and Liverpool, the main talking point is Arne Slot’s decision to leave Mohamed Salah out of the starting lineup. But even before the match began, the manager was quick to clarify his choice.

“We’re playing 4 games in 10 days. Sometimes Alex is on the bench, sometimes Florian. This is the starting eleven I picked today. It’s never an easy call to make, and it’s not the first time I’ve made this decision.” Arne Slot explained.
