Arne Slot: With Liverpool holding a comfortable lead over Arsenal in the Premier League in Arne Slot’s first season as head coach of the club, the Dutch coach revealed the pressure of being a player has nothing to do with the title race rather it comes from wearing the shirt.

Liverpool face a stern test as they travel to Manchester City to face the defending champions on Sunday. The Reds hold an eight-point lead over Arsenal but have played a game more than the Gunners. Any points dropped on Sunday could further add to the intensity of the title race.

“You assume that we feel pressure, which we do every single day we are working at this club because we know what this shirt means, what the club has done in the past. So, we always feel the pressure of doing the best possible job we can. But we are not so much focused on what other people constantly talk about, and that is the league table. We are feeling the pressure of playing a difficult away game at Aston Villa.
