Liverpool can have few complaints over their European exit at the hands of PSG. Slot's job now is to refocus hearts and minds

Liverpool faces Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final this weekend. Arne Slot has the ideal evidence he needs to implement a masterplan to bring home the trophy.

While Konate could well be passed fit, Alexander-Arnold ’s expected absence hands Liverpool a blow at right-back with Slot set to be without four senior stars at Wembley. Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley are already sidelined because of hamstring injuries, with the England international a long-term absentee after undergoing surgery.
