Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, remains focused on the team's upcoming matches and is not thinking about potentially securing the Premier League title this weekend. Liverpool is close to clinching its 20th top-flight title, which would equal Manchester United's record, but Slot maintains his attention on the games ahead rather than the title race. Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp last summer, could become part of the select group of coaches to win the Premier League in their first season in charge at a new club.
Regarding player contracts, while Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have extended their deals, Slot did not provide any details on Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract status. The right back has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but Slot refrained from discussing any potential transfer until a deal is finalized. Alexander-Arnold, who has been recovering from an ankle injury, may feature in Liverpool's upcoming game against Leicester after returning to training.
