Arne Slot believes Liverpool have a "big responsibility" to clinch the Premier League title in front of their own fans when Tottenham visit Anfield on Sunday.
Trent Alexander-Arnold fired Liverpool to the brink of the Premier League title as his late strike sealed a 1-0 win that relegated Leicester after Arsenal's 4-0 rout of Ipswich delayed the leaders' coronation on Sunday.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot said it was good to see the refereeing body PGMOL admit the decision not to send off Everton's James Tarkowski in Wednesday's derby was wrong, with the Dutchman adding that mistakes are not uncommon in the Premier League.
The Reds, dominant for much of the season, faltered in decisive moments, first seeing their Champions League dreams dashed by Paris Saint-Germain, then losing the League Cup final to a resurgent Newcastle United.
Liverpool will host PSG in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield on Wednesday. Arne Slot's side somehow escaped the Parc des Princes last week with a 1-0 win, courtesy of an 87th-minute winner scored by substitute Harvey Elliot, as a wasteful PSG failed to find the net from any of their 27 attempted shots. Here The Daily Star presents you with a few highlights of the second leg of the tie:
Liverpool survived a scare from Southampton as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez inspired the fightback in a 3-1 win that lifted the Premier League leaders 16 points clear at the top on Saturday.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he was looking forward to three finals, starting with Saturday's Premier League match at home to bottom side Southampton, and hoped Anfield would be at its loudest as his side look to stretch their lead at the top.
"If we had a draw over here we would have already been the lucky one. That is clear for everyone," Slot accepted after his side withstood a pummelling from the hosts in Paris.
The Egyptian superstar, 32, is favourite to win the award, regarded as the top individual prize in football, after a sensational campaign so far.
Ahead of Thursday night’s Anfield clash, the Reds hold a four-point lead in the Premier League, have a perfect record in the Champions League and are into the Carabao Cup semifinals.
Slot claimed Liverpool's goal-spree in north London on Sunday ranked as their best away performance since he arrived from Feyenoord to replace Jurgen Klopp in the close-season.
The Reds have a two-point lead over second-placed Chelsea after 15 games and are six points ahead of Arsenal, with a game in hand over both after their match at Everton was postponed due adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh.
The Premier League leaders are top of the European standings with a 100 percent record and on Tuesday face a Girona side down in 30th, with four defeats in five matches.
Liverpool opened up a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League as Manchester City's crisis deepened in a 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.
City's staggering loss of form resulted in five successive defeats in all competitions and while they ended that losing streak on Tuesday, a 3-3 home draw with Feyenoord in the Champions league, having been three up, only fuelled the sense that the wheels have fallen off Pep Guardiola's juggernaut.
Jude Bellingham said Real Madrid were beaten by "the best-performing team in Europe" as Liverpool's dismantling of the Spanish giants set a new bar in Arne Slot's stunning start at Anfield.
Slot was full of praise for 21-year-old Conor Bradley, who brought the Anfield crowd to their feet with a fantastic first-half tackle against Kylian Mbappe, and of Caoimhin Kelleher who saved a second-half penalty from the Real striker.
They have won 15 out of 17 games in all competitions since the Dutchman replaced Juergen Klopp in the close season.
Alonso, who scored as Liverpool won the 2005 Champions League final, was reportedly the Reds' top target to replace Jurgen Klopp as manager at the end of last season.
