Slot’s side are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table after a 4-1 win against Newcastle United in their previous fixture. This followed a 6-0 victory over Qarabag in the Champions League, which booked Liverpool a place in the last-16 of the competition by finishing in the top eight of the league phase standings.

"We are improving as a team – which is the most important thing – and now we're looking forward to this amazing game. The manager had a really good meeting where he said that we needed to improve in both boxes. That's what we wanted and I think we showed it in the last two games.

"But we were more aggressive, we pressed a little bit more. That's what we want and that's what we want to get and be consistent on that. I think it's going to be key.

"We have many players that are injured, so it's not that easy, but we are getting there. I think we are all happy with our last two performances.

"We played against two teams that were a little bit more aggressive and tried to build from the back, which is for us maybe better. We are in a good moment but we need to keep working and keep improving."
