Mohamed Salah has shone for Liverpool this season and Arne Slot was full of praise for the Egyptian in an interview with TNT Sports ahead of the Reds' Champions League meeting with Lille

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes it is "too early" to describe his team at the best in the world, despite being labelled as such by Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has shown what a great option he is to have on the bench, with the Uruguay international winning Arne Slot’s side the game against Brentford yesterday.

It was a tough day at the office but Liverpool got the win against Brentford and Arne Slot was quick to credit the role of one man in the game. Speaking about Darwin Nunez’s perseverance, the head coach said: “[A reporter] asked me similar things before the game about Darwin and I didn’t agree then that he’s not having a good season.

The hard-fought victory in west London came after successive draws to Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.
