Overview
- Florian Wirtz put Liverpool ahead before Marcus Edwards struck the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
- Dominik Szoboszlai hit the crossbar from a first-half penalty as Liverpool failed to convert pressure into a winner.
- Liverpool registered 32 shots and roughly 3.0 expected goals but rarely tested Martin Dubravka late on.
- The result makes it four straight league draws and continues a poor home return against promoted sides, with boos heard at full-time.
- Selection was affected by Mohamed Salah’s AFCON duty and Conor Bradley’s season-ending knee injury, while external reports linking Xabi Alonso’s availability have heightened attention on Slot’s position.
