Arne Slot has emphasized the importance of Liverpool improving their away performance against top Premier League teams if they aim to secure the title. As Liverpool prepares to face Arsenal on Sunday, a victory would create a significant seven-point lead over Mikel Arteta's squad. Last season, Liverpool struggled in away matches against their title rivals, earning only seven points from a possible 21 against the top eight teams. Their only win in that stretch came against Newcastle, and their campaign included a notably controversial defeat to Tottenham. In contrast, Manchester City and Arsenal managed to collect 11 and 9 points, respectively, from their away fixtures against the same opponents. With this context in mind, Slot is keen for Liverpool to turn their fortunes around starting with the crucial match against Arsenal.

Arne Slot expressed his satisfaction with Liverpool's strong start to a crucial phase of their season following their recent victory over Chelsea. The win allowed Liverpool to reclaim the top position in the Premier League, marking an impressive record of 10 wins in 11 matches under Slot's management. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring against his former team, and after Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson equalized, Curtis Jones, who was named man of the match, quickly restored Liverpool's lead. Despite the positive momentum, Slot emphasized the importance of waiting to assess his team's potential until after their next seven matches, highlighting the challenges of playing every three days.
