The pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot has reached critical levels after a youthful Reds side was thrashed 3-0 at home by Crystal Palace, marking their sixth defeat in the last seven matches across all competitions.
Bookmakers have slashed Slot's odds in the Premier League 'sack race', with the Dutchman now second favourite to leave his post.
Slot defended his decision to rest 10 senior players, citing a lack of squad depth and a brutal schedule that sees Liverpool face in-form Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and Manchester City in the next eight days.
Post-match analysis points to a worrying defensive trend, with the team keeping only two clean sheets in their last 20 fixtures.
The mounting crisis at Anfield suggests Slot's tenure could be defined by the upcoming week of make-or-break fixtures.
