SLOT’S FIRST SEASON A SUCCESS, BUT LESSONS TO BE LEARNED

Arne Slot’s first year in charge of Liverpool has been nothing short of remarkable. With the Reds on the brink of claiming the Premier League title in his debut season, there’s no doubt his impact has been hugely positive. However, that doesn’t mean he has got everything right.

Yet, recent disappointments in the Champions League and Carabao Cup have left a lingering sense of what might have been.

ISAK TO LIVERPOOL?

Jamie Carragher has cast doubt over whether Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak would choose Arsenal this summer, despite growing speculation linking the Swedish forward with a move to the Emirates Stadium.

ARTETA ADMITS ARSENAL NEED TO BE NEARLY PERFECT

Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that Arsenal will need to be near perfect to catch Premier League leaders Liverpool, but he believes momentum is building after a difficult spell. Arsenal, who finished runners-up to Manchester City in the last two seasons, have seen Liverpool surge eight points clear at the top of the table.

Arteta’s side heads into Saturday’s match against West Ham buoyed by a 5-1 thrashing of Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League and a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Klopp thinks positivity helps on big occasions

Jurgen Klopp reckons that Liverpool – Manchester United is the kind of match for which no hype is necessary because the match already carries a lot of importance. Technically it’s just another Premiership match for the two teams, but if anyone from the two camps says that they don’t have that little bit of extra excitement about this game in comparison to other Premiership games, then that will be lying, because this match matters a LOT for people from both camps.

But the mindset has to be positive. Because when you put in your efforts thinking positively, more often than not you end up fetching the positive results.
