Arne Slot has said he is not surprised that his first season in England is set to see Liverpool be crowned the Premier League champion.

In fact, none of the 30 BBC pundits predicted Liverpool would win the title before a ball was kicked, underlining how impressive Slot’s first season at Anfield has been.

But ahead of Sunday’s potentially historic trip to the King Power, Slot said the prospect of finishing first was never out of the question.

“You go to a club like Liverpool, where you feel there's always an opportunity,” he explained.

Last season, they came closer than the season before, but last season, they only had Europa League, where the starters hardly ever played.

“So we knew we had the challenge of doing well in the Premier League, combined with Champions League, which was the season before, quite difficult.

But it would be weird if I would say now, if you join Liverpool, oh, I'm completely surprised with the position we are in at the moment
