Joe Gomez and Federico Chiesa were unlucky to miss out for the 2-0 win over Bournemouth and Slot has questioned why English clubs are only permitted to name 20 players in their matchday squad when most other European clubs are allowed to pick 23 players, including in the Netherlands where Slot is from.

Everywhere around the world, and in Europe as well when we play Champions League, we can take 23 players to the game and we are here in a country where we play the most games – especially the likes of Aston Villa, us, Arsenal, Chelsea, all the ones that are playing in Europe – and we have the League Cup over here and we have the FA Cup.

That seems fair to me and then one of the things that is so important for a manager, so to pick the first XI is difficult, to tell someone that he is not even in the squad makes it even harder.

"So, I don't understand why we don't go to 23 in this country because this country plays the most games everywhere around the world and we only have 20 players that we can take to the games.
