- Mohamed Salah is set to play his final match for Liverpool at Anfield against Brentford on Sunday, with his summer exit from the club confirmed.

- Salah recently posted a message on social media, widely interpreted as a subtle criticism of Slot, advocating for Liverpool to return to a 'heavy metal attacking team' style, a direct reference to former manager Jürgen Klopp's philosophy.
- The upcoming Premier League fixture against Brentford is crucial for Liverpool's Champions League qualification hopes, which Carragher noted complicates any decision Slot might make about Salah's playing time.
