Slot waits for after eight to size up Reds

BUT ARNE MAKES GAP VOW

- Chris McKenna

ARNE SLOT believes it is too early for predicting what Liverpool can achieve this season but the aim has to be to narrow the gap on Manchester City and Arsenal.

The new Reds head coach will wait to see how the first eight games go before he decides how his side match up to last term's top two.

Slot takes his team to Ipswich today in his first competitive match since replacing Jurgen Klopp and is confident he can bring the side on from last season, when they fell away in the latter stages.
