The Premier League had previously released a statement saying Slot will receive a two-game touchline ban, stating: “Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language. He is handed a two-match touchline ban as a result."
However, the Premier League have now deleted that line. According to The Athletic, it was a mistake by the league, and the FA are yet to review Oliver’s report and decide what action to take.

The FA will reportedly have three working days to decide whether to charge Slot. As things stand, the Dutchman is not banned from the touchline for Sunday’s game against Wolves.
The Premier League’s statement also addressed Doucoure and Jones’ dismissals, saying: "Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones were both sent off for two bookable offences in Everton's 2-2 draw with Liverpool. The pair will each serve one-match bans.
"Doucoure will sit out Everton's upcoming Premier League encounter with Crystal Palace, while Jones is suspended for the first of Liverpool's Matchweek 25 games, versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.”
Slot was previously believed to be banned from the touchline for the Reds next two Premier League games against Wolves and Aston Villa.
