Liverpool may have started the Premier League season with 4 wins out of 4, but Arne Slot’s side is still evolving. While the attack featuring Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak is finding its rhythm, the real game-changer has been Slot’s subtle defensive tweak.
Last season, Liverpool often dropped into a 4-2-4 mid-block. But this year, Slot has shifted the team into a more staggered 4-3-3, with Cody Gakpo dropping deeper, Wirtz pushing up alongside the striker, and Salah staying high on the right.
This adjustment solves a key issue from last season — protecting midfield spaces and giving Salah the freedom to remain higher without compromising the team’s defensive shape. It’s a masterstroke that keeps Liverpool solid while maximizing their attacking threat.
