Slot's comments came in response to a question about Mohamed Salah 's Liverpool future after the Egypt international said Sunday's 2-0 win over City could be the last time he faces Pep Guardiola's side at Anfield as the uncertainty over his future at the club continues.

Arne Slot has joked that Mohamed Salah’s hint that he had played against Manchester City for the final time at Anfield was because the forward believes Liverpool’s rivals will be relegated, rather than because he will leave at the end of the season when his contract expires.
