Liverpool have parted company with their first-team set-piece coach, Aaron Briggs, in response to the weaknesses that have blighted Arne Slot’s side this season.

Slot has made no secret of his dismay with Liverpool’s set-piece failings at both ends of the pitch, and admitted they were holding back the Premier League champions before Saturday’s 2-1 win over Wolves.
