The Reds boss will have plenty to ponder after the match and it appears he'll have plenty of time to do so after their travel back to Merseyside was disrupted by weather. According to The Athletic, after the match, the squad's flight back from London Stansted couldn't land at John Lennon Airport due to icy fog and was forced to divert to Birmingham.

Liverpool suffered a travel nightmare after their 1-0 defeat by Tottenham on Wednesday night. Arne Slot was forced to cancel Thursday's training after arriving back in the early hours. Arne Slot's side hadn't suffered defeat since September prior to the Spurs loss and will be hoping to get back to winning ways in their upcoming ties.
Slot was left raging when Bergvall escaped a second yellow card to score Tottenham’s winner in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. Reds boss Slot was incensed on the touchline when Bergvall, already on a booking, scythed down Kostas Tsimikas in the build-up to the goal but escaped further punishment.
