Meeting Highlights…ABOUT MATCH
We need to be clinical with the chances we have and control the game because they have real speed and quality. It will require a lot of effort from us but we have to keep this idea of playing and going forward no matter what opponent we have because that’s what our team needs. Our players need the freedom because they have the talent, so let’s reinforce the things that we do well and defensively we have to be aware of the quality of Liverpool players.
…PREPARATION
It will require a lot of energy from us and we have to work and prepare hard for it. It will be a difficult one but we look forward to it.
…HOME MATCH
We have never lost at home to Liverpool in the Premier League. If that proud record is to continue, we know we need to be defensively aware of their attacking threats.

Arne Slot
Manager on Liverpool…NOTTINGHAM
I would say Nottingham is a great place to play, but a difficult one as well. It was and will be tomorrow. The situation Nottingham are in, they have a similar situation to us: they need to win football games to reach their target. As much as we can't and as much as they can't, we cannot waste games or time. So, that's the opponent we expect.
…LAST WIN
The results are incredibly important but I wouldn't call it now a response to the Arsenal game because we didn't use it in that way., Arsenal was really good, we were not as good as we could've been probably that night, and that can happen. In a season where you can only reach your targets if you win all your games, I would say that's really difficult, not even City did that, even when they came close. You have to use the lesser-good things as much as you have to use the good things.
…YOUNG TALENTS
After the game I felt that, definitely, the joy, the pride, it's really different. It's wonderful to see how the boys deal with the situation because that's a full squad achievement. It is, indeed, because I think we all agree that if we put all the young boys on the pitch together then they are still wonderful players and they have no chance.
