Liverpool coach Arne Slot appeared in a press conference to talk about tomorrow’s match against Crystal Palace in the seventh round of the Premier League.

The coach said about Chiesa’s readiness: “We have to.” Wait, he hasn't trained for the last two days. Today has come to see if he can train. If he can today, I have to make a decision because we can only choose 20 players. First of all, we have to wait to see if he can train. And if he can, it is our decision whether we bring him to the match or not.”

He added: “The competition between Jota and Nunez? I think it is a challenge for us as a crew to find the best in individuals. We try to find different ways to position Darwin and Diogo because they are not the same players, they are teammates. That's what I have to do as a coach and what we do as well. Nunez didn't score against Bologna because he was in an offside position, when we give him chances, he can score but unfortunately, he didn't "We can give him the positions we want. Even Diogo didn't get [many chances]. He scored twice against West Ham in the 10th position. It's something we have to look at, for us - to put our striker in different positions to score."

On the future of Salah, Van Dijk and Arnaud: “It’s the same boring answer as always. I can really understand it if you ask me once every two weeks but if you ask me this after two or three days.” Three days again, and you will still get the same answer.”

And regarding the brilliance of Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch against Bologna: “Why do the players play so well? I think it has to do with the quality they have as players. Mohamed Salah has a lot of quality, Ryan has a lot of quality.”

He stressed: “In fact, every player has He plays here with a lot of quality. It's up to us and I say "we" because it's not just me, or my technical staff; Rather, the players also have to play in the best possible way as a team and then individually as well, and do special things.

He continued: “It was an incredible goal from Mohamed against Bologna, but The only chance he had to score was when Trent Alexander-Arnold made an overlapping pass and that is why there is open space inside and if you give that space to Mohamed, he can score an own goal.”

On being 4 points ahead of its closest rivals in the Premier League if they win tomorrow: “You always look at the next match, which is the Crystal Palace match, and they have already shown how strong they are against big teams like Manchester United and Chelsea in both cases. They achieved a good result.” So this is the first match and that's why it's the most important and difficult match for us. The match kicks off at 12:30 after the match on Wednesday evening. Late in the Champions League, we're facing a team that has had a whole week to prepare, but that's part of working at a club. We face those teams, and we have to be prepared for those teams, and this is what we will do tomorrow.”

He concluded, “I do not look at our position in the rankings, and whether we are in the lead over After one point, two points, three points, or even after the weekend, and it is interesting to look at the league table and not after our match that we will play.”
