Arne Slot highlights Man City form as warning to his Liverpool players: ‘Anything can happen’ | OneFootball

Liverpool boss Arne Slot warned his Liverpool players that it is “far too early to start celebrating” after moving seven points clear at the top of the Premier League and with a game in hand on their title rivals.

The Reds solidified their position at the top of the Premier League table with a convincing 3-1 victory over Leicester City but head coach Slot has remained grounded, emphasising the unpredictable nature of the league.

“If you’ve been in this game as long as the players and I have, you know there are still so many challenges ahead,” said Slot. “With 20 games to go, anything can happen—injuries, bad luck, you name it. It’s far too early to start celebrating, but of course, it’s a good position to be in.”

Jordan Ayew’s early goal put Leicester ahead in the game but Liverpool responded emphatically. Cody Gakpo equalised, Curtis Jones gave them the lead, and Mohamed Salah sealed the win with a brilliant finish late in the second half.

Reflecting on the game, Slot highlighted the challenges of maintaining consistency in the league. “There’s no such thing as an easy win. Even when you think a game is under control, like our match against Tottenham, things can change quickly. That’s why we take it one game at a time,”

Slot also pointed to reigning champions Manchester City’s current situation, having won just one of their last 13 games, as a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in football.

“Manchester City’s current position shows how unpredictable this league can be. You can’t take anything for granted,” Slot warned.
