No Jurgen Klopp-style send off for Arne Slot
Whilst Anfield will be packed to the rafters for Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge, the same can't be said for Arne Slot as he's been denied a similar style send off because much of the Gerard Meijer Tribune - the dedicated home end - will be closed in punishment for the fans’ use of flares in the KNVB Cup semi-final win over Groningen back in February.
An official announcement from both clubs is expected after the season ends, with Feyenoord and Liverpool having agreed a €13m compensation package for Slot's services.
