Arne Slot has warned Liverpool’s players they face a week of three finals – and that Saturday's Anfield clash with Southampton is the most important of all.
Liverpool will be expected to beat the Premier League’s bottom team comfortably but Slot, who is expected to make several changes to his starting line-up, has recoiled at the idea this game is being considered by many as a foregone conclusion.
Though the return leg of the Champions League last 16 tie with Paris St Germain and the Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle at Wembley are the fixtures that have grabbed the imagination of supporters, Slot has underlined what is at stake against Southampton.
