Liverpool head coach Arne Slot dismissed suggestions nerves are starting to affect his side and believes his players have the experience to cope with the pressure of a title run-in.

Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Wolves, in which they endured a nail-biting last 25 minutes after the visitors scored, was the sixth match the Premier League leaders have won by the margin of one goal.

.

The Dutchman has his own experience of winning a title with Feyenoord two years ago but inherited a dressing room full of Premier League champions from 2020 when he moved to Anfield in the summer.

"So the ones that won the league here already that was in Corona(virus) time with fans not being in the stadium and at a certain point they were 25 points up so you can hardly talk about pressure then.

"But we do lean on the players because they have to show up and bring the performances in but not in the manner where today or tomorrow they present a meeting on how to deal with the pressure, that’s not how it works."

That would be their biggest lead since winning the league for the first time in 30 years in 2020.

"But securing a win in the Premier League, if you are only leading by one goal, is always going to be a lot of defending and hard work.
