Liverpool Manager Arne Slot Under Pressure Amidst Losing Streak; Leverkusen Faces Bayern - October 2025

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is under immense pressure to end his team's "crisis" run after being eliminated from the League Cup. Slot expressed concern over a recent losing streak of six defeats in their last seven games, which includes four consecutive Premier League losses, stating the need to avoid making losing a "habit". He noted that his team created more chances than opponents in several of those matches. Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga, a rebuilt Bayer Leverkusen aims to reignite its rivalry with Bayern Munich this Saturday. Leverkusen faces this challenge after losing key players and undergoing a coaching change since their dominant run under former coach Xabi Alonso.
