I don't see Liverpool dropping out of top four - Shearer

Liverpool finished third last time and I don't see them dropping out of the Champions League places now Arne Slot is in charge.

Jurgen Klopp is an incredibly tough act to follow but they still have stacks of quality in their squad, and plenty of options in forward positions. They have not signed anyone yet this summer but I'd be amazed if that is still the case come the end of this month.

We will have to wait and see how Slot gets them playing, and at what tempo, and also what happens to some of their established stars.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are all now into the last year of their contracts and, while Trent is only 25, Van Dijk is 33 and Salah is 32.

I guess we will find out soon if their future is at Anfield, or not.
