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.

Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff received red cards after the final whistle in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.

Liverpool travel down the road to Goodison Park to face Everton in the first Merseyside derby of the season. The game was supposed to be played in mid-December, but was postponed due to adverse weather conditions. Now, Liverpool can finally take advantage of their game in hand to go nine points clear of Arsenal atop the Premier League.
