The Reds were on a four-match winning streak and beat Brighton 2-0 and Wolves 2-1 at home. Liverpool then drew three matches in a row, starting with stalemates against Leeds 0-0 and Fulham 2-2.
The Merseyside team played out a goalless draw at Arsenal on Thursday. Slot’s outfit allowed 0.57 XG and held on for a point.

The Yorkshire side ended that run with a 1-1 away draw at Wigan. Barnsley trailed after just six minutes and Adam Phillips levelled with 20 minutes remaining.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Calvin Ramsay, Joe Gomez, Milos Kerkez, Andy Robertson; Curtis Jones, Trey Nyoni; Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Federico Chiesa; Cody Gakpo
Forward Mohamed Salah is on AFCON duty. Midfielder Wataru Endo, defender Giovanni Leoni and attackers Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak are injured.
Conor Bradley is a doubt after going off injured against Arsenal. Arne Slot was unsure of the defender’s fitness and said, “I don't know yet, but it didn't look great if you have to go off on a stretcher. When we see the video, we both think, probably the same, but we have to wait on the scans, if it's that bad. Or maybe he can play on Monday - let's hope so!”
Barnsley (4-2-3-1): Murphy Cooper; Tennai Watson, Mael de Gevigney, Jack Shepherd, Josh Earl; Adam Phillips, Luca Connell; Fabio Jalo, Patrick Kelly, David McGoldrick; Davis Keillor-Dunn
Defender Georgie Gent is unavailable due to injury.
Marc Roberts could return to the squad following a recent injury. Pre-match, manager Conor Hourihane gave an update on the centre-back and said, “Robbo is going to be touch and go but we will give him every chance to be involved in such a good game.”
Verdict
Liverpool are likely to have too much quality for League One Barnsley. The Reds can win to nil and cover a -2 handicap at Anfield.
