There have been growing calls by Liverpool fans for Arne Slot to get sacked numerous times this season, as the Reds are in a dangerous situation right now that could see them miss out on Champions League football after the Premier League season. Last week, the Reds ended up drawing against arguably the worst Tottenham Hotspur side in modern history. The result was a significant one, as it could be the fixture everyone looks back at and sees as a turning point that saw Spurs survive relegation or Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Adding to the concern, Liverpool’s inconsistent performances in recent weeks have further complicated their push for a top-four finish in the Premier League. Defensive lapses, lack of clinical finishing, and questionable in-game management have all contributed to dropped points at crucial stages of the season. With several tough fixtures still to come, the pressure on Arne Slot continues to grow, as every match now carries huge significance for Liverpool’s Champions League qualification hopes. Fans are increasingly demanding immediate improvements, both in results and overall performances. If the Reds fail to respond quickly, they risk falling behind their direct rivals, making the race for a Champions League spot even more difficult in the final stretch of the season.
Looking at Liverpool's remaining Premier League fixtures
The following Liverpool's remaining fixtures in the Premier League:
Brighton (Away)
Fulham (Home)
Everton (Away)
Crystal Palace (Home)
Manchester United (Away)
Chelsea (Home)
Aston Villa (Away)
Brentford (Home)
Looking at their remaining fixtures and current form, it wouldn't even be the biggest shock if Liverpool end up failing to win at least half of these fixtures. Their final series of games in the Premier League are one of the toughest as well compared to all other games, with Arne Slot's side having to face 3 Champions League spot fighting teams in Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. Their final against Brentford won't be easy as well, who themselves could look to qualify for the Europa League or conference League.
The Reds are currently 5th in the league, but we feel things will get worse for them soon. They are still in the Champions League and FA Cup as well, which means the manager and players won't be able to put their entire focus on the Premier League for the time being.
Will Liverpool end the Premier League season with Champions League qualification? Our prediction
The only way we see Liverpool qualifying for the Champions League is if one of Chelsea, Aston Villa, or Manchester United go on a terrible turn that see them drop major valuable points. Just by looking at the remaining fixtures of Liverpool, we just don't see a chance of them qualifying for the UCL by winning most of those games. We are also predicting Arne Slot to get sacked by the club if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. Someone like Xabi Alonso could end up replacing him. One thing is for certain, whether Slot stays or not, Liverpool will need another major squad rebuild in the Summer transfer window, with Salah potentially leaving and the likes of Virgil Van Dijk and Allison all about to reach their final phase with the club.
