A familiar problem plauging the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea is now impacting Liverpool 18:16, Mon, Mar 16, 2026 Updated: 18:16, Mon, Mar 16, 2026 Liverpool boss Arne Slot saw his team leaked online (Image: Getty)Liverpool manager Arne Slot saw his team selection leaked ahead of Sunday's match against Tottenham Hotspur – a problem which has prompted investigations at Manchester United and Chelsea before. Those posts were validated roughly an hour before kick-off when details of Slot's team surfaced.
Slot's starting XI had also correctly appeared online hours before Liverpool's team was announced.The Dutchman's changes did not hit the mark, however, with Dominik Szoboszlai's first-half free-kick cancelled out by Richarlison's 90th-minute leveller to salvage a point for relegation-battling Tottenham.Sunday's draw has delivered a significant setback to Liverpool's top-four ambitions, although they remain fifth, which is expected to guarantee Champions League participation for the next campaign.However, there will be unease on Merseyside that Slot's team was leaked. Ruben Amorim faced similar challenges before his dismissal in January.Ruben Amorim regularly saw his Man Utd team leaked (Image: Getty)Chelsea were another club to experience difficulties, with Blues head coach Liam Rosenior stating he will "get to the bottom of it" after becoming aware of potential team leaks within their squad before last week's loss at Paris Saint-Germain.The press obtained Chelsea's starting XI, and it was circulating by midday last Wednesday – eight hours prior to kick-off at the Parc des Princes.
Chelsea subsequently lost the first leg in Paris 5-2.Slot has not directly commented on the team leaks, but he did concede he does not blame Liverpool supporters for expressing their frustration after his side were booed off at Anfield on Sunday.He said: "I think it's understandable for fans to be frustrated because it has happened so many times that they have seen the home team not picking up the points they are expecting, us conceding goals in the last minute.
