Pre-match press conference with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot ahead of Leeds United v Liverpool in the Premier League at Elland Road.<br /><br />Slot reflects on taking four points from the last two matches, stressing Liverpool were “one deflection away” from two clean sheets and pleased they have stopped conceding from set pieces. He highlights improved consistency from summer signings, picking out Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, and notes Alex’s first goal as further progress in recent weeks.<br /><br />He discusses benching Mohamed Salah in the last two games, insisting “Mo has been such an exceptional player for us” and is “always in my mind” whether starting or coming from the bench. Slot talks up Leeds’ aggressive style after their win over Chelsea, expecting a physical test in a hostile atmosphere at Elland Road, and underlines that Liverpool’s “first aim” is to climb back into the top four in an increasingly competitive Premier League.<br /><br />There are updates on the squad with Conor Bradley back in training and Joe Gomez expected to train after a knock, plus praise for Federico Chiesa’s impact from the bench, Cody Gakpo’s workload in the forward line and Dominik Szoboszlai’s versatility, with Slot confirming that in the long term Szoboszlai will play centrally. He also admits Liverpool must create more chances for their number nine and compares his involvement to Erling Haaland’s, saying the key is for strikers to touch the ball “in moments where it matters”.<br /><br />📺 Please subscribe, like the video and share wherever you can! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@BeanymanSports?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />💬 Help support the channel from only £0.99p a month!<br />Get special loyalty badges next to your name in the comments and live chat!
