‘It may add even more pressure on referees’ Liverpool v Tottenham (Thu, 20:00 GMT)

Liverpool manager Arne Slot on referees potentially announcing key decisions to the crowd from the start of next season: “For me, it is not necessary because I can go two steps backwards and see the live coverage of anything but that isn’t available to fans so if the fans like this then let’s do this. If the fans like it then let’s continue but let’s see if they do because the last time it happened I was there in the Spurs stadium and it was so obvious – it was not necessary to announce it was offside.

“I think the one we were interested in is why he didn’t give the second yellow card [to Lucas Bergvall] and that is something he didn’t have to explain. I think maybe if he does explain it and it’s a disadvantage for the home team then it becomes even more of a pressure on the referee so I wonder if it is a good thing for the referee. It will add more pressure on the next and the next and the next decision. “
