Arne Slot has urged caution over Liverpool’s outstanding early defensive record and believes they have benefitted from a generous fixture list.
Liverpool have taken 12 points from the first five games and the sole Premier League goal they have conceded was Callum Hudson-Odoi’s strike that enabled Nottingham Forest to win at Anfield 11 days ago. AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic is the only other player to breach Slot’s rearguard.
One aspect of Liverpool’s performances under their new coach has been the control they have shown for long periods but Slot has countered that observation by insisting an inspired display from goalkeeper Caoimhim Kelleher was the reason they kept a clean sheet against Bournemouth.
