Arne Slot, the Dutch manager for Liverpool, will not be gracing the touchline as Liverpool face Southampton in the League Cup quarter-final. On Tuesday, Slot affirmed that his suspension won't hinder his strategic influence on the team despite not being physically present during the match.

Slot received his third yellow card during the recent Premier League draw against Fulham, leading to a touchline ban. Slot remarked on the lighter nature of the suspension compared to those in Holland, emphasizing that he can still effectively guide his team during critical pre-game and halftime discussions.

Liverpool continues to show strong form, topping the Premier League and Champions League tables, while Southampton struggles after sacking their manager following heavy losses. Slot is optimistic, discussing player participation and strategies while aiming for multiple trophies this season.
