This Sunday at 23:30 CET, Liverpool will host Manchester City at home. Before the match, beIN Sports interviewed Liverpool assistant manager Arne Slot. He expressed satisfaction with the team's current performance but acknowledged areas needing improvement. He stated that he prefers 4-3 victories to 1-0 wins because they are more exciting, though he added that he would accept narrow 1-0 victories when necessary.

On Starting at Liverpool

I believe the regular schedule is becoming more complicated, so international breaks are a good time to review our approach. We need time to rest and analyse how the season has unfolded before the next match. We've had enough matches to assess what we've done well and where we can improve, and I'm confident about that.

Our Goals for the Season

We haven't set specific point targets or league position goals. We simply want to push as hard as we can and perform at our best. While I don't know where that will take us, I believe if we can provide these players with a good platform and proper structure, we can compete for trophies.

How I Want the Team to Play

Our objective is clear and I think everyone understands what we're trying to build. We want to play with intensity and be more direct, but at the same time maintain control of the match. We don't want matches like the Newcastle game, where we played well but made mistakes in transition and conceded twice. We need better control of the game.

Recently we've done more to control matches, but we've also reduced the attacking intensity we had in the first match. So now we need to find the right balance between these two aspects. Clearly, we want to attack well and defend well. However, sometimes we make adjustments based on specific match requirements or priorities to suit the team's needs. We're working hard to balance all these elements.

"Do You Prefer 4-3 Wins Over 1-0 Victories?"

As I mentioned, ultimately we want to win matches and because 4-3 victories are more exciting, I prefer them. However, I also accept 1-0 wins occasionally. They're fine too.

On Team Injuries

I believe Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo are both sidelined due to injuries from their national team commitments. The main thing is to see whether they can recover in time to help us in the next match. For now, both players are dealing with injuries.

Facing Manchester City

While we're unbeaten, they have a perfect record, so our situations are quite different. To beat Manchester City, we'll need to play very well because they've been scoring many goals in attack recently. We know their dangerous players, but I also think we've made good defensive improvements lately. We hope to contain their threats while creating our own opportunities to hurt them.

On the Anfield Atmosphere

I think this is an important match that everyone wants to play in, watch, and be part of. Since we're currently facing the league leaders, this is a truly significant fixture for us. We know we need to be at our best, and I'm confident the supporters will find ways to help the team.
