SLOT'S MEN HEAD TO EMIRATES IN FOURTH PLACE

Liverpool manager Arne Slot insists his reigning English champions can still do “special things” this season as they prepare to face Premier League leaders Arsenal following a faltering start to their title defence.

Slot's men head to the Emirates for today's clash in fourth place in the table, but 14 points adrift of the Gunners.

However, following on from a run of nine defeats in 12 games in all competitions, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last nine — although that sequence includes four draws.

Those draws include a goalless stalemate against Leeds and a 2-2 share of the spoils with Fulham in their first two Premier League fixtures of 2026. “It is nine games unbeaten but we have definitely had two draws too many,” Slot told a pre-match press conference yesterday.
