Liverpool began their first Premier League season without Jurgen Klopp by securing a victory against Ipswich Town in the early Saturday kick-off. Arne Slot, the new manager, took charge of the Reds for the first time at Portman Road, leading the team to a win with goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah. This result builds on a strong pre-season that saw four wins from six friendlies, including victories over Real Betis, Arsenal, and Manchester United, though they also suffered a 4-1 defeat to Sevilla at Anfield.
Slot expressed his intention to continue the playing style established under Klopp, noting the similarities between their approaches and hoping to carry that momentum into the upcoming season. Ipswich, newly promoted to the Premier League, face a challenging start with back-to-back matches against Liverpool and then a trip to champions Manchester City. Manager Kieran McKenna will be looking to secure positive results as his team battles to avoid relegation.
