Summary at a Glance

Unlike players, managers and staff don't serve an automatic suspension after receiving a red card, which is why Slot is on the touchline for today's clash with Wolves.

The Premier League's website initially revealed that Slot was due to serve a two-match ban and was dismissed for using "offensive, insulting, or abusive language" - but that was later removed on Thursday and was confirmed to be an error.

After a confrontation with officials post-match, Liverpool manager Arne Slot was one of the four shown a red card.

A full-scale melee between the teams extended to those on the bench and saw four red cards being issued by referee Michael Oliver.

Slot engaged in an extended handshake with the referee - reminiscent of Pep Guardiola against Liverpool in 2019 - before being disciplined.
