Marseille vs Liverpool - Champions League LIVE: Latest score, team news and updates as Mo Salah returns to Arne Slot's squad plus Chelsea vs Pafos and Newcastle vs PSV

Arne Slot might be surprised, but pressure is starting to build on the Dutchman.

To many of you, that may sound silly given that he has stopped the rot in terms of defeats, with his Liverpool team now unbeaten in 12 matches in all competitions.

But the term 'looks can be deceiving' comes to mind.

Of those 12 matches, six have been draws. Slot's side have been underwhelming pretty much week in week out during that period, dropping points at home to all three promoted sides, Leeds, Sunderland, and Burnley.

So yeah, they haven't been losing, but boy, they've been pretty bad.

Liverpool fans are growing tired of Slot's style of play, with faith dwindling after their dire second-half display against Burnley.

For Slot to regain the Reds' faithful's belief, which I'm sure he desires, you feel that Liverpool not only need to win tonight but also break from their shackles and play some attractive attacking football.

Against this Marseille side, though, that could prove tricky.
