Liverpool Held by Burnley at Anfield as Pressure Mounts on Slot

Wasteful finishing in a fourth straight league draw shifts focus to this week's Champions League trip to Marseille.

Overview

  • Liverpool drew 1-1 after Florian Wirtz’s opener was cancelled out by Marcus Edwards, with Dominik Szoboszlai missing a first-half penalty.
  • Liverpool produced 32 shots and 11 on target yet have one win in their last four league games, and they have failed to beat any of the three promoted sides at home this season.
  • Boos followed the final whistle; Arne Slot said he understood the frustration, and captain Virgil van Dijk called for support while admitting the team’s levels dipped.
  • Reports indicate FSG continue to back Slot for now, even as criticism grows and Xabi Alonso’s availability fuels external speculation about alternatives.
  • Liverpool remain fourth and now visit Marseille before traveling to Bournemouth, with Mohamed Salah expected to return to the squad this week after AFCON.
