'Early to be celebrating.." - Arne Slot wants Liverpool to stay focused after winning against Leicester City

After Liverpool defeated Leicester, they went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, but Arne Slot felt it was much too soon for them to celebrate winning their 20th league title. At Anfield, Liverpool overcame a deficit to defeat Ruud van Nistelrooy's faltering team, extending their lead over second-place Chelsea and giving them a game in hand over their closest rivals.

But even though Chelsea and other teams were unable to keep up with the league leaders, Slot reaffirmed his demand that Liverpool show more concentration and perspective. While during the post-match press conference, Arne Slot stated that Liverpool must stay grounded and must focus on the next games.

“There are so many challenges still ahead of you. A few months ago we were one point behind Manchester City, and look at what has happened there. Injuries, suspensions, bad luck—it can happen to anybody. It is far too early to be celebrating. You have seen all these games, and I don’t think there was an easy win. That tells you how difficult it is to win if all of your players are available. We just have to take it one game at a time,” he said.

 Arne Slot's first season with Liverpool in charge is becoming exceptional

However, Slot is remaining calm in the face of mounting speculation about their chances of adding another title to their 2020 victory. Salah's goal in the 82nd minute gave Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy the impression that his team was holding their own.

If Liverpool defeats West Ham on Sunday, they will move ten points clear of their closest rivals, Chelsea, as Enzo Maresca's team won't play until the next day at Ipswich. After leaving Feyenoord to take over Liverpool, Arne Slot's first season in charge is becoming exceptional.

Liverpool leads the Premier League by a significant margin, and they are also leading the Champions League standings and in the Carabao Cup semifinals. Of Slot's first 26 games in charge throughout all competitions, Liverpool has won 22 of them.
