Slot: Liverpool do not consider themselves favorites in the Premier League race

The Merseyside coach is confident that many teams are capable of showing the same results as his team.

In the 12th round of the Premier League, Liverpool will play against Southampton.

Ahead of the match, Merseyside helmsman Arne Slot spoke about the position his club’s players find themselves in, given Manchester City’s winless streak and the head-to-head clash in the next round.

According to the Dutchman, not a single player in the team considers the Reds to be the undisputed favorites in the fight for the championship.

“I am not talking about favoritism. It’s not very fun, but I prefer to go step by step and just talk about the next game, which is a challenge in itself. In the Premier League the gap between the teams is small. And this situation continues throughout the season. I’ve followed the league before and there was a time when City were eight points behind Arsenal, so it’s pointless to judge the odds and admire us now

Teams like Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, even Manchester United and all the rest, could have the same unbeaten run we have now. Therefore, we do not “fly in the sky” and do not look at it from the point of view of favorites. The players know what they need to do to win the game, and that’s important. If they can give 50% less and still win, maybe we think we have 50% to spare and don’t have to give our best to get the result. But we know that many battles are close,” concluded Slot.

The match between Southampton and Liverpool will take place today, November 24, at 16:00. If they win, the Merseysiders’ lead over Man City will increase to 8 points.
