Arne Slot has addressed the contractual situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van and Mohamed Salah and insisted the uncertainty has not affected Liverpool's season. The Dutchman's point is bolstered by his team's displays this term, which have seen them ascend to the top of the Premier League and Champions League tables.

Ahead of the Anfield clash, where Slot's men will look to maintain their 100 per cent record in the competition, the Dutchman addressed the expiring deals of three of his squad's key men and insisted - save for one performance - all displays have met the standards demanded.
'The situation hasn’t affected the group and in fact,' he told Amazon Prime. 'Only one of the players has had a poor performance this season and that was Trent vs. United. 'All the other games we’ve played, Virgil, Mo and Trent have always hit the standard or passed it.'.
