Arne Slot press conference LIVE: Liverpool injury latest, title race, Man City verdict

Arne Slot will be back in front of the cameras on Friday, three days on from that epic win over Real Madrid.

Consecutive Liverpool wins have changed the mood around Anfield as the Reds head towards the final international break of the autumn, but Slot’s side face a daunting task before that pause in the club game.

Liverpool supporters have rarely enjoyed their trips to the Etihad in the last decade, and even this less-polished version of Manchester City still boasts an impressive home record.

The Reds did earn a win in east Manchester last season thanks to a savvy tactical switch from Slot, who will this week provide the opposition in Pep Guardiola’s 1000th game as a head coach.

Like Liverpool, City earned an important midweek victory in the Champions League, and both teams head into Sunday’s encounter knowing they cannot afford to lose more ground on leaders Arsenal. The Gunners are currently six points clear at the top of the table.

Slot will likely discuss the title race, team and injury news, and give his perspective on City in Friday’s media briefing.

We will keep you up to date with all that and the latest Liverpool news throughout the day via our live blog.
