Slot: Still a job to do for Liverpool to clinch title

SLOT believes Liverpool have a “big responsibility” to clinch the Premier League title in front of their own fans when Tottenham visit Anfield tomorrow.

Slot’s side will be crowned English champions for a record-equalling 20th time if they avoid defeat against struggling Tottenham. Liverpool have five games left to seal the title, and need just one point to do so, making it only a matter of time before they get their hands on the trophy.

The Reds’ last title five years ago was slightly anti-climactic as it came during the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning Anfield was empty when the trophy was presented due to lockdown restrictions. And, with Liverpool travelling to Chelsea for their next league game after the Tottenham clash, Slot acknowledged there is extra pressure to seal the title on home turf.

“It's a big responsibility. We are aware that the last time this club won the league was during the Covid time. So, everybody is looking forward to Sunday,” Slot told reporters on Friday.

“We know there’s still a job to do. We need at least one point. Our fans know as well. When they come to the stadium, they have to support us in the best possible way as they have done all season.
