Arne Slot has been given a terrible Liverpool scenario before his team play Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
After their loss to Bournemouth last weekend, Mikel Arteta’s team is now four points behind the Reds, who are now leading the league with seven victories out of eight games.

Arsenal have already contested their Champions League clash with Arteta watching his players beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0.
Man City meanwhile, welcome Sparta Praha to Etihad Stadium on Wednesday with Liverpool in Germany to face RB Leipzig.
Regardless of what happens in the game, Liverpool are already at a disadvantage to Arsenal.
Arteta and his team will be just a few hours away from a complete training session after recovering from their European match the day before, while the Reds will be returning from Germany early on Thursday morning.
According to this scenario, Liverpool probably won’t be ready to practice hard until Friday and there are other travel considerations to make.
Slot and his players must fly south, perhaps on Saturday night, whereas the Arsenal team merely needs to go to Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool has two away games which might have a significant effect since fatigue is a serious possibility, reports Echo.
