Slot said: “As a manager you never think: ‘After 25 games how many points will we be clear or behind?’ You only think about winning as many games as you can and implementing a certain playing style to get as many wins as you can.
The positive thing is that, after these two games, we’ve got seven home games and four away.
Arne Slot believes that Liverpool can secure a significant advantage over Arsenal in their next two games and that Anfield is then primed to shape the destiny of the title race.
“These two games we are going to play now have already been played by Arsenal – Villa away and City away.
If you are a very good team and a special team you play 20-25 very good games, a few mediocre ones and you play a few very bad ones.
