🤔 After benching Mohamed Salah, Arne Slot will make headlines again whether he recalls him or not vs Sunderland.
But leaving the #LFC forward unused was an ever bolder call. Slot might have downplayed the decision, but it is only the fourth time it has happened to Salah in his entire Reds career.

🔴 Federico Chiesa was given a rare start the last time #LFC faced PSV as he struggled with fitness issues after a disjointed pre-season.
