Arne Slot is managing expectations, saying it's too early to evaluate his side's title credentials.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has stated that it is too early to access the Merseyside club's title chances.

Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League table. However, manager Arne Slot is tempering expectations, stating that it's premature to assess his team's title credentials.

The Reds (with a game in hand) currently hold a two-point advantage over Chelsea, who sit second, and a six-point lead over Arsenal.

What Sot said

Slot pointed out that Liverpool has a game in hand due to their match against Everton being postponed because of Storm Darragh's adverse weather conditions.

"Judge the table after 19 games (the halfway point) because then everyone has played the same opponents," Slot told reporters on Friday via Reuters.

"Probably we had a bit of luck, for example Arsenal had a lot of red cards in the beginning of the season that's why they dropped points.

"We have now received a red card and we dropped points. We now have Tottenham away which Arsenal had at the beginning of the season; Chelsea already played there.

"Don't look at it where you were in the season, it is about where you are at the end of the season."

Liverpool will play against Tottenham on Sunday before they clash again during their League Cup semi-final match.

Tottenham, managed by Ange Postecoglou, recently won a quarter-final match against Manchester United with a score of 4-3.

Meanwhile, Liverpool secured their place in the semi-finals by defeating Southampton 2-1.
