the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield having replaced Jurgen Klopp in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>However, Liverpool have put up a woeful defence of their Premier League title and currently sit fifth in the table, just one point ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool also have a mountain to climb in order to reach the Champions League semi-final following their 2-0 defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Slot\u2019s side failed to have a shot on target and registered just 26 per cent possession at the Parc des
