Liverpool are just ninety minutes away from the unthinkable.

Arne Slot has taken over the reigns at Anfield from Jürgen Klopp and the transition has become seamless, subsequently guiding the Reds to the brink of the Premier League title.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late strike against Leicester City created another moment that will be remembered when we come to look back on this campaign, and for Liverpool to go from Klopp to Slot, supporters couldn’t have dreamt of it any better.

Tottenham Hotspur will be the visitors on Sunday, a day that could turn out to be very special with victory securing ‘Champions’ status for Liverpool and in doing so, will bring an end to Manchester City’s four-year dominance of the Premier League.

Ahead of the potential title-party, we will be discussing the early success of a new era on Merseyside and how Arne Slot has continued to build on the foundations that were left behind from Klopp’s departure.

THE PERFECT TRANSITION

Replacing Jürgen Klopp felt like a task too big for any incoming manager to inherit, but Arne Slot has removed any ounce of doubt in the Liverpool fanbase  prior to his arrival.

The Dutchman’s debut campaign has been a masterclass in calm control, being tactically astute, whilst embedding himself into the culture of the football club.

Following the departure of managerial legends at any football club, a new face often arrives, attempting to stick to the same hymn sheet.

But Slot has stripped away the sentimentality and added his own style of Dutch flair on this Liverpool side.

Whilst the Dutchman’s tactics may not be what the Anfield crowd are too familar with after nine years of Klopp’s ‘heavy-metal’ football, they have quickly become more accustomed to a calmer approach which has ultimately led to a successful run of results.

DOUBTERS SILENCED

When Slot arrived at Liverpool, he wasn’t a household name.

Many supporters were screaming for Xabi Alonso, off the back of an invincible season at Leverkusen, but to Richard Hughes and FSG, they had already found their ideal man.

Despite Slot’s successes with Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands, he was a coach arriving in unfamiliar territory in a new league, leading to many shouts from rivals of a sudden drop-off for Liverpool.

A narrative that was quickly dismissed.

Instead, he has silenced his doubters whilst earning the utmost respect from the Liverpool supporters, in doing so.

During his short Anfield stint, Slot has already broken many records including taking the most wins from his first fifty matches with thirty-six, beating the previous record held by the legendary Joe Fagan and Sir Kenny Dalglish, tied together on twenty-nine.

His ability to get the best out of the players inherited from his predecessor, has removed any uncertainty around the appointment and lead to undying waves of optimism.

A CHANCE TO BECOME A LIVERPOOL GREAT

Arne Slot has Liverpool fans dreaming again with the chance to create his own success journey at Anfield.

Less than a year into the job, Slot hasn’t just steadied the ship.

He’s sent it surging towards further success.

One win from the Premier League title and supporters hope that this will just the beginning for the new man on Merseyside.

Should he deliver on a seasonal basis, Slot won’t just be remembered as the man to follow Klopp.

He’ll be remembered as the one who built on the legacy, and began crafting one of his own.

Liverpool can smell the Premier League title.

If they are to seal the job against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, then Arne Slot won’t have just delivered a trophy, he’ll have delivered a statement that a new era has officially begun at Anfield.
