Arne Slot says Liverpool cannot get wrapped up in what title rivals Arsenal are doing as the Premier League leaders continue preparations for Sunday's tough trip to Manchester City.

"Yeah, Arsenal plays before us but we know that doesn’t make the game easier or more difficult than we have against City

Sunday’s game at City is followed by a Premier League trip to Newcastle, who they will take on in the Carabao Cup final on 16 March.

Liverpool also have Champions League last-16 fixtures either side of a straightforward-looking home game against Southampton, with Paris St Germain confirmed as the opponent at Friday’s draw.

"They qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League in style earlier this week with a big win against Brest and they had some really good results in the league phase, defeating Stuttgart, Manchester City, Girona and Salzburg.

"Of course, our immediate focus is on our upcoming Premier League fixtures, starting with Manchester City on Sunday, but we will be doing everything we can to ensure that we are in the best possible shape when the Champions League resumes."
