Slot Faces Major Salah Decision as Liverpool Consider Midfield Change
- On Wednesday, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot must decide whether Mohamed Salah, forward, who had not started any of the five games before his Africa Cup of Nations departure, returns for Marseille at Stade Vélodrome.
- Finding the right midfield balance has troubled Arne Slot, who may deploy a diamond or two number 10s while Liverpool lack recognised options on the right flank.
- Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Burnley extended Liverpool FC's 12-game unbeaten run but produced boos from fans who deemed the performance unimpressive.
- With direct qualification on the line, Slot's choice about Mohamed Salah is immediately consequential as Liverpool's trip to Marseille is pivotal for Champions League last 16 hopes.
- Victory in Marseille would make it 13 unbeaten and could serve as a platform for progress under Liverpool head coach Arne Slot, while the Marseille test will influence doubts about integrating Liverpool's new signings amid Roberto De Zerbi's high-scoring home form.
