LIVERPOOL HEAD COACH Arne Slot refused to consider the prospect that the Premier League title was theirs to lose after a 2-0 victory over Manchester City sent his side 11 points clear at the top.
But Slot is refusing to look beyond Wednesday’s visit of Newcastle despite joyous fans singing about winning the league at the final whistle. “You can ask every single question you want, but it is so hard to judge the league table before every single game is played.Advertisement “In every other league having a lead like this would be very comfortable – except for this one because this league every single game gives you a lot of challenges.”
“We knew we had to defend a lot and that is what we did really well and there were some good moments in the counter-attack that went for us in the game.”“No, because you never think like that. If you start somewhere you don’t think where you are in terms of points at the end of the season,” he said.
“Last season they were in the Europa League and were competing until five, six, seven or eight games before the end. “How many points advantage for them over Arsenal? It’s a lot. How many games have they lost?” he said.City are now 20 points behind Liverpool and their main concern is, at the very least, maintaining their fourth place to qualify for the Champions League.
