Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, predicts a tougher second half of the season as he aims for a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title in his first campaign at Anfield. Liverpool has been exceptional, losing just two of their 31 games across all competitions and sitting four points ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League with a game in hand.
Ahead of their match against mid-table Brentford on Saturday, Slot acknowledged the challenge posed by the London side, who recently drew 2-2 with Manchester City and boast the joint-highest number of home wins in the league, tied with Arsenal and Liverpool at seven.
Reflecting on the league’s competitiveness, Slot noted that every team offers formidable resistance, as shown by Southampton’s surprise 3-1 win over Manchester United.

Slot recalled Brentford’s visit to Anfield in August, his first home league game, which Liverpool won 2-0, and emphasized the league’s intensity compared to the Eredivisie.
Despite back-to-back draws in recent matches, he said Liverpool isn’t fixated on the league table but is focused on maintaining strong performances.
On the squad front, Diogo Jota is doubtful for the Brentford game after experiencing discomfort following his goalscoring cameo in a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Slot dismissed concerns about Darwin Nunez’s confidence, highlighting the Uruguayan forward’s contributions and the team’s overall goal-scoring strength.
Slot expressed confidence in Nunez’s ability to deliver more goals as the season progresses.
