Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is interviewed by Men in Blazers(Image: Men in Blazers - YouTube)

Arne Slot has admitted he has made a mistake concerning Trent Alexander-Arnold early in his Liverpool managerial reign.

The Dutchman is on the verge of leading the Reds to the Premier League title, with his side needing just a point from Sunday’s visit of Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield to win the championship.

Liverpool currently boast a 12-point lead at the top of the table with just five games to play, and have lost just twice in the Premier League all season long.

But that has not stopped Slot from ruing the Reds’ 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest back in September.

Substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi emerged from the bench to score the would-be winner in the 72nd minute, curling into the bottom corner from outside the box after cutting inside and shrugging off Conor Bradley.

The Northern Ireland international had emerged on the hour-mark, with Slot moving Alexander-Arnold into midfield.

But appearing on Men in Blazers, the Liverpool head coach has now admitted he regrets moving his vice-captain - who is out of contract at the end of the season and expected to join Real Madrid - into the engine-room as he pointed out he has not repeated the positional switch again.

“Probably a few.

It would be weird if you make five, 10, 15 decisions on a daily basis, that every decision you made was the right one to make,” he replied when asked if there were any decisions in his first season in the Reds that he would do differently.

“I do remember, and now you’re asking me, that when we lost against Forest at home, in the last 20 or 25 minutes, I played Trent in the midfield where at that moment of time, I felt maybe he could also be an attacking midfielder.

“I think I played him as an attacking midfielder, one of the two No.8s, which wasn’t a big success at that moment and I’ve never done it afterwards again.

“Is that a mistake?

It took me maybe a bit of time to get to know the players really well.

“You don’t do this after a week, and unfortunately I only had 14 or 15 of them only for two weeks before the season started.

“Then sometimes you try things, sometimes they work out well, sometimes they don’t work out that well.

“But us losing against Forest did not have to do that much with Trent playing on the midfield, but it wasn’t something I did frequently afterwards.”

Meanwhile, Slot picked Virgil van Dijk’s late winner at home to West Ham United as his highlight of the season so far - but admitted he hopes the most special moment is still to come.

"Hopefully that's a moment still to come,” he said.

I think big players always show up in big moments and that's what they did.

"But I can also come up with Brentford away: 90 minutes played, 0-0, Darwin Nunez scoring a goal and I think Trent assisted that one as well.

We've had a few of those big moments during the season.

"I cannot pick one but if I really have to, I think the moment after conceding the 1-1 against West Ham where everybody probably felt, 'Ooh, this is going to be difficult, maybe even to bring a 1-1 over the line.'
