There is trepidation but also excitement building at Liverpool over what might follow Jurgen Klopp’s incredible tenure at the club. The German leaves the Reds after almost nine years in the summer and a new chapter will begin.

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot is the frontrunner to take over at Anfield and it's understood that he would welcome the opportunity of a move to the Premier League.

Slot's possible arrival will be one of a list of changes at Liverpool. After years of 'Gegenpressing' and high-tempo football under Klopp, the Dutchman’s slightly different style weighs heavy on a 4-2-3-1 formation but with more reliance on the wingers to create chances.
