Arne Slot has started his Anfield reign with league wins over Ipswich, Brentford, Manchester United, Bournemouth, West Ham, Wolves and Crystal Palace.But that run of fixtures was hardly the most daunting, especially with United in turmoil, as former Feyenoord boss Slot acclimatised to English football in a relatively low-stress environment.
While Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are reportedly jousting for control of the club behind the scenes, Maresca has taken a bloated squad that underachieved for the past two years and turned them into top-four contenders. Languishing in 14th place with only two wins from seven league matches, United are without a victory in their past five games in all competitions.
Brentford’s habit of scoring within seconds of kick-off this season makes them a serious danger to a team with United’s habit of shooting themselves in the foot.
