Liverpool news: Arne Slot will want improvement after Girona win

Liverpool boss Arne Slot can’t seem to put a foot wrong at the moment.

The Reds didn’t even play in the Premier League last week, but had a good weekend as two of their three closest rivals made an error.

Arsenal, who drew 1-1 with Fulham, and Manchester City, held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace, both dropped points after Slot’s side saw their derby at Everton postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions.

The only rival for the title to win was Chelsea who beat Tottenham to go second in the Premier League and four points behind the Reds.

Liverpool also remain top of the Champions League group in their new format by securing a sixth win in six games with a 1-0 win at Girona.

However, although Slot has been calm, collected and measured so far, some frustration has emerged following Tuesday’s match in Spain.

Although the Reds maintain their 100% record in Europe this season, Slot was “far from satisfied” with a performance in which his team lacked the control he demands and gave Girona several chances .

Slot will want to ensure there is no repeat when Liverpool host Fulham in the league on Saturday and he will speak to the media at 09:15 GMT today in the build-up to that match.

Darwin Nunez has scored one goal in 10 outings and we’ll see if Slot has anything to say about the Uruguayan striker’s struggles.

Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa have returned to training and we should also have news of their availability.
