Liverpool’s Slot happy to let Premier League title bid take its course
LONDON: Arne Slot says Liverpool are unconcerned by how soon they can win the Premier League title after going 12 points clear again with victory in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby. A day after second-placed Arsenal cut the gap to nine points by beating Fulham 2-1 at home, Liverpool responded by defeating Everton 1-0 at Anfield. Liverpool next face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. Slot, in his first season as Liverpool manager since succeeding Jurgen Klopp, was asked Thursday how close he felt to clinching the title. “We are not working on theories about how many points this is, this, this,” said Slot. “We are taking the challenge of Fulham on for Sunday, where we have to be at our best again, like yesterday, to get a result. “We’ve played 30 games now. Maybe there were three or four where the score was so clear that in the last 20 minutes it wasn’t a problem anymore.
