With a game in hand as much as 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, Premier League giants Liverpool boss Slote says the Reds will focus more on Paris Saint-Germain and less on the Premier League table.

Arsenal have picked up just one point from their last two games, with Szobosloy opening the scoring for Liverpool after just 11 minutes and Mohamed Salah setting up Allister in the 63rd minute to make it 2-0 for the Reds.

With about 10 rounds left in the Premier League this season, the title race is clear. Speaking after the game, Slot said: 'It was our fifth game in 15 days and maybe it was a lack of concentration and we struggled a couple of times in terms of possession, but then we played really well. Not only the starters, but also the players who came off the bench. ”

Liverpool have an impressive record of 20 wins, 7 losses and 1 defeat in the first 28 rounds of the Premier League, and on the 11 points from the last five rounds, Slote said: "There are a lot of things that I am happy with. After the games against Everton and Aston Villa, and the hard-fought win over Wolves, people started to question some of our style of play, but we reacted really well against Manchester City and all of a sudden everything was very rosy again. "The players kept their composure and did what they needed to do, they made it as difficult as possible for other teams to play against us. Normally, our strength will allow us to win. ”

Liverpool, who 'took the lead' to win over Newcastle ahead of the Carabao Cup final, said: "I don't think it means much, I'm not seeing Newcastle like it was a few months ago. Normally they press in a 4-5-1 formation, today they used a 4-4-2 and Isak and Joelinton were not around. We can expect to see a different picture in a few weeks. ”
