Arne Slot's derby debut

The match could have significant implications for the Premier League title race, with Liverpool currently six points clear at the summit.

Slot is hoping that his team's recent exit from the Champions League will allow them to focus entirely on their domestic form.

However, the manager found himself in hot water after his behavior during a previous match led to calls for a points deduction.

The Premier League has also banned three referees from taking charge of the derby to avoid potential bias.
