Arne Slot has acknowledged the elevated level of competition in the Premier League, emphasizing that he must elevate his own performance as a coach. The Liverpool manager, who has guided his team to the top of the league after 11 matches, has quickly recognized the significant difference in quality compared to the Eredivisie. As Liverpool prepares to face Southampton, currently at the bottom of the table, Slot is not underestimating the challenge ahead. He believes that any team in the Premier League is capable of defeating another, regardless of their standings. Despite Southampton's struggles this season, with only one victory to their name, Slot commended their manager, Russell Martin, for his commitment to a possession-based style of play.
