Under the leadership of Arne Slot, Liverpool are leading the Premier League table. With one game less to go, they are ‘6’ points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, and showed their ability to compete on the road against West Ham United in their last game.
Their next game is against old rivals Manchester United. In contrast to their opponents, who have suffered since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, in recent years they have grown into a club that competes fiercely with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal.
The game welcomes United, who currently sit in 14th place, to Anfield, and most predicted a comfortable win for Liverpool. However, anything can happen in a national derby and it could be more than usual.
Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who has been an integral part of Liverpool’s midfield both offensively and defensively since joining from Brighton, revealed the good atmosphere in the team, but also reminded the players that they have to focus on each game.
“We’ve been in a really good moment and the feeling in the squad has been super-positive,”
“But as we always say, at a club like this there’s no time to rest or get carried away with what’s happened – you just have to try to win and think about the next game.”
“We know that players who come into the side at the start or as substitutes are really important and if you want to win trophies, you need them. Of course, you don’t want to be on the bench, but we know what every guy here, when he comes in, does his best for the team.”
