A draw or win would see the Reds seal the English top-flight title for a record-equalling 20th time. Standing in their way will be a Tottenham side who are having a dreadful domestic campaign and who could have one eye on their must-win Europa League semi-final.
But for the Reds and Arne Slot, their focus will be completely on getting the job done this weekend. Second-placed Arsenal’s 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Wednesday means the runaway leaders will wrap up top spot by avoiding defeat in front of what no doubt will be a fervent Anfield crowd.
Slot is sure to be quizzed on his the Reds’ approach to the hugely anticipated, potentially historic afternoon and on the latest injury and team news.
Slot on enjoying Sunday
I enjoy going to Anfield every single time, but the focus is on trying to get the points or win over the line. Normally we settle only for a win, a point isn’t enough. It’s mostly three, four or five minutes you are happy and then normal managerial life starts again.
Slot on Tottenham games
You can always be surprised by a gameplan of a manager but at the end of the season teams have played so many games it would be weird if they changed style now. We know the way they play and they know the way we play. The big picture is clear for Ange and for me as well.
Trent Alexander Arnold contract!
After he marked his return to the Liverpool team with a match-winning goal at Leicester City last weekend, Trent Alexander-Arnold was inevitably asked about his future.
But once again, the right-back wasn’t giving much away. “I’ve said all season, I am not going to speak on my situation, I am not going to go into details but these days like today are always special: scoring goals, winning games, being close to winning titles and being in title races, they are special moments that will live for me forever,” said Alexander-Arnold.
While Real Madrid’s desire to sign the England international on a free transfer when his Reds contract expires is well documented, there have been suggestions this week that he could have second thoughts on swapping Merseyside for the Spanish capital.
