This is a good read.

Arne Slot, Liverpool manager, is next to speak to Sky Sports. He reiterates that the biggest recent improvement that his side have made is their work rate out of possession.

We have made a lot of steps forward mainly off the ball, mainly with players better able to play this schedule we are playing. The biggest improvement I see is players are more ready for the combination of the Premier League and Champions League at the intensity we need.

We have both shown we are good in ball possession and can create chances. Both teams want the ball as much as possible and both have shown from a high press they are a threat as well. A good and proper counter attack can be dangerous at both ends as well.
