The Premier League announced this morning:  "Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language."

Slot will serve a touchline ban for Liverpool's next two fixtures against Wolves on Sunday and Aston Villa next Wednesday.

The suspension will include:

  -   Slot will not be able to communicate directly with his staff or players during the next two matches. He can, however, communicate with his staff via phone or a 'runner'. 

  -  Slot will be banned from the touchline at any point, meaning he cannot oversee the pre-match warm-up.

  -  Slot can deliver a pre-match, half-time and post-match team talk to his players from inside the dressing room.
