Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Slot admitted that Liverpool’s FA Cup exit has aided their chances of success in the remaining three competitions.

“That hurt us in the FA Cup, but it also means these players are now able to play five games in a row at the highest possible level.”

These comments alone may draw some controversy Slot’s way, but Steve Nicol agreed with the Liverpool coach’s decision at Plymouth, as the Premier League is the most important trophy for the Reds this season.

Several stars at the Merseyside club have played a lot of minutes and as a result of their FA Cup exit, there is a nice break on the horizon for the Premier League leaders.

Andy Robertson was worried about Liverpool’s fitness ahead of their clash with Man City on Sunday and it is not hard to see why.

Several players have played over 2500 minutes this season as Slot has not been the best at rotating, which could have an effect further down the line.

Liverpool showed no signs of fatigue against Man City as Slot’s men looked highly motivated following Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham.

Although it would have hurt at the time, Liverpool’s FA Cup exit might be a blessing in disguise as it could be fuelling the Reds’ push to a second Premier League title in the last five years.
