Arne Slot targets the FA Cup as a potential route to security following a difficult first season at Anfield. Liverpool currently sit 12th in the Premier League table after 28 matches, according to the Premier League. The team has recorded 10 wins, five draws, and 13 defeats during the 2025-26 campaign.
Liverpool face a quarter-final tie against Brighton & Hove Albion on 8 March. Per Sky Sports, victory in this competition represents the only remaining domestic trophy available to the club this term. The squad has struggled with defensive consistency, conceding 42 goals in league play so far.
Ownership reportedly monitors the situation closely as the manager attempts to rectify the poor domestic form. Slot joined the club on a three-year contract in June 2024, per The Guardian. Failure to progress in the FA Cup could intensify discussions regarding his future. The club previously exited the League Cup in the fourth round against West Ham United.
