  "textContent": "Arne Slot is under pressure (Picture: Getty)\n\nPressure will only intensify on Liverpool manager Arne Slot after his side were knocked out of the FA Cup following an emphatic 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.\n\nA hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a well-taken finish from Antoine Semenyo saw City thrash Liverpool to advance to the semi-finals later this month.\n\nPep Guardiola’s side also keep alive their hopes of a cup double after winning the Carabao Cup last month at Wembley.\n\nLiverpool, meanwhile, will come in for renewed criticism as their hopes of silverware this season took another huge blow.\n\nThe Reds face a daunting task against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek, and still have work to do to ensure they secure a top-five finish and a return to the competition next season.\n\nEarlier in the week, former Reds captain Jamie Carragher said a big defeat today could ‘ramp up the pressure to a potentially intolerable degree’.\n\nAnd the manner of Saturday’s defeat will surely see questions resurface about the long-term future of Slot, who has failed to hit the same heights after guiding the Reds to the Premier League title in his first season in charge.\n\n##  Get your football fix\n\n**Metro** 's weekly newsletter In The Mixer delivers punchy analysis and breakdowns of the biggest football stories directly to your inbox.\n\nSign up here, it's an open goal.\n\n## Who is favourite to be next Liverpool manager?\n\nSlot’s side were dumped out of the FA Cup (Picture: Getty)\n\nFormer Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is the shortest price to become the next Liverpool boss\n\nThe 44-year-old played 210 times for the Reds from 2004-09, winning the Champions League and FA Cup along the way.\n\nHis immense playing career also saw him win a string of trophies for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Spain.\n\n##  Next Permanent Liverpool manager odds\n\nXabi Alonso is the heavy favourite to replace Slot (Picture: PA)\n\nXabi Alonso 1/3\n\nLuis Enrique 3/1\n\nJulian Nagelsmann 8/1\n\nSteven Gerrard 8/1\n\nJurgen Klopp 12/1\n\nOliver Glasner 16/1\n\nSimone Inzaghi 16/1\n\nAndoni Iraola 20/1\n\nEnzo Maresca 25/1\n\nCesc Fabregas 25/1\n\n_Odds via BetVictor (subject to change)_\n\nThe former midfielder quickly became one of the most wanted managers on the planet thanks to his heroics in charge of Bayer Leverkusen from 2022-25, winning the Bundesliga in 2024.\n\nA move to Real Madrid in June last year did not work out, with the Spaniard sacked in January, but Alonso’s managerial stock is still high, especially at a club where he was an immensely popular player.\n\nElsewhere, PSG boss Luis Enrique is high up on the odds list, with the Spaniard’s current contract in the French capital expires next year.\n\nOther candidates include current Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann and former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.\n\n**For more stories like this, check our sport page**.\n\n**Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on**Facebook,** Twitter and Instagram**.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
