Summary at a Glance

The Liverpool head coach was one of four people dismissed by the referee, Michael Oliver, after Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Everton but, unlike Curtis Jones or Abdoulaye Doucouré, Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff do not serve an automatic suspension.

Arne Slot could receive an extended touchline ban for his red card at Goodison Park, with the Football Association considering several potential charges following the chaotic Merseyside derby.

Both teams could be charged with failing to control their players following the brawl that broke out after Jones reacted furiously to Doucouré celebrating in front of the Liverpool fans.

Slot, therefore, could be on the touchline for Liverpool’s upcoming games against Wolves, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Newcastle.

As he has already served one touchline ban this season, at Southampton in December after collecting three yellow cards, a hearing and an extended suspension of two games or more are possible.
