Red cards for managers typically result in one-game suspensions. If Slot does receive a two-match ban, he will miss Liverpool's home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday and their February 19 game at Aston Villa.

Slot has already served a one-match touchline ban this season, sitting out Liverpool's League Cup clash with Southampton after being shown his third yellow card of the season during a 2-2 league draw against Fulham.

LIVERPOOL, England, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been given a two-match touchline ban, after the Dutchman was sent off during a stormy end to his side's 2-2 draw with Everton in Wednesday's Merseyside derby, the Premier League has said.

Cody Gakpo has been the emerging force this season — used to far greater effect by Slot than Klopp. But Luis Diaz's goal on Sunday was his first this calendar year, and Darwin Nunez, popular because of his work ethic, lacks consistency. While Salah has scored 53 times from an xG of 52.7, Here is more information on Slot online look into the page. Nunez has scored 24 goals from an xG of 33.6, so is underperforming by almost 10 goals.

In footage of the Dutchman from the moment James Tarkowski denied his side a crucial win in their quest to win the Premier League, Slot can be seen frantically motioning to the fourth official and thrashing his hands in anguish before turning to the visiting bench in disgust. 

A Liverpool squad without him would be a shadow of the current one. The replacements Liverpool have looked at include Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo, Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens and Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo. But would any of those deliver Salah's goals?

‘It was a very big provocation from one player. We all saw it and reacted as a team as we were able to do. You know what happens nowadays, it becomes one big tussle. Then it is not me who has to deal with it, it is the referee and today I am not sure he had it fully under control.' 

Curtis Jones reacted angrily to Abdoulaye Doucoure's celebration in front of the away fans at the end of the clash. Hands were raised during a feisty scuffle that drew the attention of both sets of players, police and stewards.

Oliver showed both players, already on yellow cards, their second bookings. Moments later, the official also dismissed Slot. Outrage over the awarding of Everton's equaliser, despite a lengthy VAR reviews, also appeared to lead to Liverpool assistant Sipke Hulshoff receiving his marching orders. 

Slot's language about Salah seems so much warmer than Jurgen Klopp's. ‘He is so experienced and smart and knows so well where the ball will fall,' Slot said last Friday. ‘That's a positive thing about being 32 — he has lived through so many situations.' The feeling seems to be mutual. ‘Excellent at his job,' Salah's agent tweeted of Slot on Friday. Not the kind of public love he expressed for Klopp.

But it proved to be a fitting end for the Toffees, who would have the last word in their final match against their rivals at Goodison before their move to Bramley Moore Dock next term. Liverpool, meanwhile, moved seven points ahead of Arsenal in second place with 14 Premier League matches to play. 

Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk said post match: 'You saw they celebrated the goal, they have every right to. Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans. Curtis didn't think it was the right thing to do. The referee didn't have the game under control. I said it to him. 

In the great Liverpool era of the 1970s and 80s, there was an obvious solution at a moment like this. When Kevin Keegan, entranced by European football, told Bob Paisley he wanted to leave, Kenny Dalglish was the ideal replacement. Salah is even more integral to Liverpool than Keegan was back then, but there's no obvious Dalglish figure this time.

The 46-year-old Dutchman has already served a one-match touchline ban this season, sitting out Liverpool's League Cup clash with Southampton after being shown his third yellow card of the season during a 2-2 league draw against Fulham.

The initial statement, published on Thursday morning, read: 'Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language. He is handed a two-match touchline ban as a result'. However, the statement was deleted just minutes later.
