Arne Slot has used his programme notes to once again call on Liverpool’s fans to play their part in creating a raucous atmosphere at Anfield ahead of Saturday’s game against Southampton.

With the match falling in between the Champions League last-16 ties against Paris Saint-Germain, and just eight days out from the Carabao Cup final, it would be easy to downplay the significance of the clash.

Writing in the matchday programme, Slot reiterated that view and stated this was one of the occasions the team needs a ‘big atmosphere’.

“This is a game that comes on the back of a very testing Champions League match away in Paris and because of the quick turnaround it is clear that we will have to dig deep to go again.

Again, if you are a team that wants to go hard in the Premier League and the Champions League – which we are – this is an obligation.

“It is clear, though, that given the efforts that the players put in on Wednesday night, we will need our supporters today.

“Our fixture at St Mary's was very tight, as the result demonstrated, and it was yet another occasion when the strength of the Premier League was shown because we were pushed all the way, even if expectations outside of ourselves had been that it would be a much more straightforward game.

“That experience will help us today but only if we use the information in the right way

And we should know that they have the quality to cause problems for any opponent, as has been shown on many occasions this season regardless of what the league table might say.”
