In a recent Liverpool press conference, the team addressed several key topics, including Mohamed Salah’s contract situation, transfer updates, and the latest injury news.

Welcome to the live coverage of Arne Slot’s press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur. This match marks the first leg of a semi-final double header, and Liverpool is returning to the stadium where they triumphed 6-3 last month.

Tottenham has made it to this stage of the competition but is struggling in the league, sitting 12th after three defeats and a draw in their last four matches. Manager Ange Postecoglou is facing increasing pressure.

Off-pitch matters will also be discussed, particularly Mohamed Salah’s social media activity and ongoing speculation about his future, as well as interest from Real Madrid in Trent Alexander-Arnold. The press conference is scheduled to start at 11 a.m., with Theo Squires present to speak with the Liverpool head coach. Stay tuned for live updates and reactions.
