Arne Slot says Liverpool cannot get wrapped up in what title rivals Arsenal are doing as the Premier League leaders continue preparations for Sunday’s tough trip to Manchester City.
“They qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League in style earlier this week with a big win against Brest and they had some really good results in the league phase, defeating Stuttgart, Manchester City, Girona and Salzburg.
Liverpool also have Champions League last-16 fixtures either side of a straightforward-looking home game against Southampton, with Paris St Germain confirmed as the opponent at Friday’s draw.
Sunday’s game at City is followed by a Premier League trip to Newcastle, who they will take on in the Carabao Cup final on March 16.
“This tells us all that we need to know about the challenge that we will face but it is also a challenge that we will look forward to, knowing that we also fully deserve to be in the last 16.
