Liverpool cannot escape short-term priority as Arne Slot set for ideal dress rehearsal

Our fan jury have their say on a big week for the Reds in three different competitions

The big games just keep coming for Liverpool. After a tricky Premier League showdown at AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, their next three matches are three critical fixtures in three different tournaments.

On Thursday the League Cup takes the main focus, as the Reds look to overturn a one-goal deficit against Tottenham Hotspur. Arne Slot has a full-strength squad to choose from – Trent Alexander-Arnold aside – and will fancy his chances of pulling back the 1-0 disadvantage against the injury-ravaged and out-of-sorts opponents.

With an FA Cup clash with Plymouth Arygle and a Merseyside derby showdown with Everton to follow, this week has the potential to be season-defining for Liverpool. Our fan jury have their say below on what’s to follow.
