Arne Slot has revealed the one thing he knew he had to change after succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

The Dutchman is on the cusp of leading the Reds to the Premier League title in his first season with the club.

A draw is all Liverpool need from the visit of Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Sunday to clinch the title with four games left to spare.



The Reds will be deserved champions, having lost only twice all season.

They currently sit 12 points clear of second-placed Arsenal and also boast a game-in-hand on their nearest rivals.

The Gunners have regularly bemoaned injuries throughout the season for undermining their Premier League challenge.

However, they are not the only side to have suffered enforced absences with the likes of Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley all missing prolonged periods for Liverpool.

Yet such injuries have not derailed the Reds.

And with Liverpool historically having to navigate a number of injury woes every season under Klopp, Slot acknowledged he identified needing to improve player availability after succeeding the German.

“We took a lot of what was already very good over here,” he said.

The players had a lot of qualities.

“The only thing we had to do is make sure we got as many players available as we could every single time.

“Apart from that, we wanted to continue on the work Jurgen did and add a few things, but adding certain things is something we have to do next season again as well.

“I think our competitors will try to become better next season again as well.

That’s why they’re probably going to try next season as well, but it’s definitely what we’re going to try also.”

One criticism of Slot this season has been his lack of rotation at Liverpool.

The Reds gave not been at their best in recent weeks as they exited the Champions League prematurely, lost in the League Cup final and made hard work of the Premier League title run-in at times.

Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa have failed to start a Premier League game all season while Darwin Nunez appeared to take to social media on Saturday to hit out at his lack of starting opportunities in a now deleted tweet on X.

Yet Slot stands by his decision to not make more use of his entire squad, though he did hint that Liverpool could look to bring in a number of new signings in the summer after initially persisting with his inherited ranks.

“There’s a lot of research done about the longer the team plays together, the better they start to play,” he explained to Men in Blazers.
