Sloat: This is the case with the trio, and whether they win or lose against Arsenal will be important

Liverpool coach Arne Slot appeared in a press conference, to talk about facing Arsenal, on Sunday, in the ninth round of the English Premier League.

The coach said: “Jota Chiesa and Bradley are in good condition, but not ready to play. Federico may train with us today or tomorrow, but Jota will definitely not be available against Arsenal. Connor Bradley, let's see if he can be with us tomorrow."

He added about Alisson Becker: “He is progressing well as we expect but it is not a temporary recovery, so it is difficult to judge him. The best way to judge the injury is in the final stage of his rehabilitation and he is not there yet.” I cannot tell you how long he will be absent, but we do not expect him to be ready to face Brighton in the cup or next week.”

Regarding Liverpool’s defensive strength, he said: “In most matches, We were controlling large parts of the game, so that helps us if we have the ball, but I also like that the work rate is amazing when there are difficult parts of the game and if you combine that with Virgil and Konane and the two goalkeepers that we used, those elements are the reason why we didn't We conceded a lot of goals. We are also in a good position with Kwansah and Gomez at centre-back.”

He stressed: “I said before and after the match that I expect a lot from Chelsea this season and they showed that at Anfield.” Last Sunday. They are a similar team to Arsenal when it comes to their style of play, as they both prefer to rely on full-backs inside and play in the same formation as Arsenal, but if we look at the last two seasons, Arsenal were a lot ahead of us but they were also above Chelsea.”

He noted: “Facing Arsenal will be more difficult than facing Chelsea, but let’s see at the end of the season where Chelsea and Arsenal will be, as you usually expect, since it is an away match, this match is more difficult.” It is difficult for Chelsea at home, and we have all seen how difficult Chelsea is at home.”

He continued: “We all know that snatching points from your rival is difficult and no one knows in this situation.” “Early stage who will be your biggest rival but I think we all know Arsenal will be one of them, losing points against them or winning points against them is always important.”
