Arne Slot is expected to take over at Liverpool and implement his favored 4-2-3-1 formation, whereas Jurgen Klopp’s favored 4-3-3 formation will likely be cast aside. The outgoing Feyenoord boss will need to select an attacking midfielder crucial to the way his team operates. Under Klopp’s management, a three-man midfield has become customary, and it has served the team well.
However, Slot’s favored 4-2-3-1 formation is set to transform the make-up of Liverpool’s midfield, with two holding midfielders and a single attacking midfielder. There is no nailed-on candidate for the attacking midfielder role, although several players may be in contention. Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Harvey Elliott are all potential candidates vying for the starting berth. Slot will need to evaluate the entire squad to determine the best fit for the No 10 role, considering players’ abilities and the direction he intends to take the team.
