Arne Slot's Liverpool face mounting pressure after a turbulent campaign, but Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson predicts they'll surpass Manchester United in the 2025/26 Premier League race. Despite boos following their 1-1 draw with Chelsea and criticism over tactical decisions like keeping Dominik Szoboszlai on during cramping episodes, Merson argues Slot retains hierarchy support and insists the team will evolve. Injuries and inconsistent form have plagued Liverpool, yet Merson highlights Man Utd's depth—with players like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz poised to thrive—as a key factor in Liverpool's potential resurgence.
