SLOT WILL SCRAP FOR POINTS

- CHRIS MCKENNA

SOME see it as Liverpool starting to wobble – but Arne Slot does not think it is anything out of the ordinary.

In fact, it is something the Dutch boss (above) believes even Pep Guardiola’s great Manchester City side suffered on their way to four titles in a row.

That is not being perfect for 38 games a season. There will be more than a few bad performances.

The Reds head to Aston Villa tonight on the back of arguably two of their worst displays of the season as well as a shock FA Cup exit to Plymouth with a muchchanged side.

Of course, it should be pointed out that Slot’s side emerged from those games against Everton and Wolves with four points.

Just a week ago they were six points clear of Arsenal. With two games less to play in the Premier League, they are seven clear.

This is hardly a crisis or some sort of crash but, because of high standards this season, there has been a clear drop-off in the last two league outings.
