On August 17th, the new Premier League season kicks off with Liverpool facing Ipswich away in their opening match. Liverpool manager Slot refused to predict his team’s title prospects, stating that they need to play a few more games before a clearer discussion on the topic can arise.
Slot declined to discuss title contention before the season’s start: “It’s difficult to talk about title contention when the first round hasn’t even been played. We need to see how our competitors perform, their strength and condition. Every season brings new challenges, it’s too early to talk about whether we are above or below them.”
Slot indicated that a clearer picture of the title race will emerge as the season progresses: “This question can be answered better after 5-8 rounds of league play. Our goal is clear, it’s to close the gap with the top teams, not widen it. Because in the past two seasons, Liverpool has been far too many points behind the champions.”
This season, with Liverpool’s return to the Champions League, the team will undoubtedly face even greater challenges.
