“City playing there away from home is one of the most difficult challenges you have throughout a season,” Slot said.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot says his side’s focus remains on regaining consistency rather than worrying about the Premier League title race as they prepare to face Manchester City on Sunday, according to Metro’s reporting.
Liverpool, who won the league in Slot’s first season, have endured a difficult start this term, losing four straight matches and falling seven points behind leaders Arsenal. “I only focus on ourselves and our main focus is on consistency at the moment,” Slot said in his pre-match press conference. “We have lost a few games, much more than we usually do. Now we have won two.”
The Reds’ back-to-back victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid have eased pressure, but defeat at the Etihad could leave them ten points adrift of Arsenal. Slot added, “City playing there away from home is one of the most difficult challenges you have throughout a season.”
Liverpool hope to have striker Alexander Isak back after a groin injury, while Andy Robertson remains a doubt. “He will train for the first time today with the team again after being three weeks out,” Slot confirmed.
