Liverpool's Arne Slot Faces Touchline Ban for League Cup Quarter-Final
The manager reflects on his sideline behavior as Liverpool prepares to rotate players against a struggling Southampton team.
- Arne Slot will serve a touchline ban during Liverpool's League Cup quarter-final against Southampton after receiving his third yellow card of the season in the Fulham match.
- Slot admitted frustration with Premier League refereeing decisions but acknowledged his emotional reactions have not influenced outcomes in his team's favor.
- Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League and Champions League standings, plans to rest key players, with academy talents and less-used squad members expected to feature in the game.
- Injuries and suspensions leave Liverpool with limited defensive options, though Kostas Tsimikas has returned to training and Federico Chiesa is set to make his return after a long absence.
- Southampton, under interim management following the dismissal of Russell Martin, faces Liverpool after a series of poor performances left them at the bottom of the Premier League.
