Arne Slot insisted he was not feeling any extra weight of expectation despite the commanding position his Liverpool side have built at the top of the Premier League table. A 3-1 win over Leicester on Boxing Day saw Liverpool open up a seven-point gap prior to Arsenal‘s match against Ipswich on Friday and their imperious form – Slot’s side have still only lost one league game all season – has made them clear favourites for the title in his first season in charge. They showed their resilience again against Leicester, coming from behind after Jordan Ayew scored six minutes in,…
Liverpool will attempt to round off an incredible first half to the season on Sunday when they travel to West Ham United. The Reds will go into the game top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. That is the result of a remarkable return of 22 wins, three draws and just one defeat from their opening 26 matches of the campaign across all competitions. And what makes that all the more impressive is the fact that new head coach Arne Slot has had to operate without some important players…
Liverpool play their final game of 2024 when they make the trip to West Ham United on Sunday (5.15pm GMT). The Reds head to the London Stadium top of the Premier League table – some seven points clear of second-placed Chelsea. It means that Arne Slot’s men will end the year at the summit yet they will be determined to record another victory. After a 3-1 win over Leicester City on Boxing Day, Slot has remarkably won 23 of his 26 games since taking over in the Anfield hot seat from the legendary Jurgen Klopp. He has Liverpool on track…
Among the many reasons why Liverpool fans have taken an instant shine to Arne Slot is his unflappable nature. It feels like since the moment he stepped foot on Merseyside, he has faced questions over the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah. In fact, given the sheer amount of games Liverpool has to play, Slot is getting close to having to answer those questions on a daily basis. That would be enough to drive plenty of other managers up the wall, and no doubt one or two might have snapped back by now. Not Slot though,…
Liverpool have been warned that VAR’s lengthy delay at the end of the 3-1 victory over Leicester City is the price that has to be paid for accuracy in the Premier League. Supporters were left frustrated late on when Cody Gakpo’s goal was ruled out for an offside against Darwin Nunez in the build-up. The decision took three minutes to eventually decide on before the Stockley Park officials decided to agree with the on-field call. Soon after the incident, the Premier League took to social media to explain that the check had found Nunez to be in the offside position.…
There is little that Liverpool can be criticised for right now. Unbeaten in 22 matches, seven points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand, the best defensive record in the Premier League. Mohamed Salah is arguably in the best form of his career with 19 goals and 15 assists in 25 matches, and is one of a swathe of players to have elevated their performance levels under Arne Slot. Most points of concern actually come away from the pitch. Renewals for Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have yet to be sorted while some…
Liverpool head into 2025 in a healthy position under Arne Slot, with Premier League and UEFA Champions League title challenges still going strong. The Dutch coach has succeeded Jurgen Klopp perfectly at Anfield, with Slot naturally evolving this Liverpool squad into something quite special with the former Feyenoord manager set to bring in his own players in the January transfer window. One of the main reasons behind Slot’s success has come down to how the 44-year-old coach has managed to take existing Liverpool players and push them to the next level, with some names enjoying new leases on life under…
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has batted away talk of an impending Premier League title triumph – as his comments mirrored remarks from predecessor Jurgen Klopp during his tenure at Anfield. The Reds currently sit top of both the domestic and continental standings after a swashbuckling start to the campaign which has saw them pick up 22 wins from 26 outings so far. Just short of halfway through the domestic league season, the Merseysiders boast a seven point advantage and a game in hand over nearest challengers Chelsea. Having topped the table on Christmas Day, history would suggest that the…
Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to a 3-1 win over Leicester City on Boxing Day. After Jordan Ayew had given the visitors an early lead, the Reds responded with goals from Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah as Arne Slot’s leaders took full advantage of Chelsea’s defeat at home to Fulham. Next up for Liverpool is a visit to West Ham United to close out 2024. Whatever happens in London on Sunday evening, the Reds will end the calendar year as the team in top spot ahead of a potentially thrilling…
Arne Slot only ever looks at what is front of him, and here that is Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League clash with Leicester City. Three points on Boxing Day will go a long way towards his team’s title charge. Even if Liverpool’s opponent is one in the lower area of the Premier League table, the Reds will do well to remember they have a history of causing upsets. In 2021/22 it was Ademola Lookman who struck around this time of year and they also won at the King Power Stadium the season before that as well. Adding to that, Slot has…
