Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal dropped more points in the title race after a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa
For relegation it has claimed Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton will go down while Manchester United and Tottenham will finish 11th and 12th respectively – with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle claiming the Europa League spots.
Liverpool face Ipswich at home next weekend, after a trip to Lille in the Champions League, while Arsenal are set to travel to Wolves after playing Dinamo Zagreb at home in Europe.
Even though Liverpool are being strongly backed to win the title in their first season under Slot, the Dutchman has warned it is becoming harder for his team to score goals after being forced to wait until stoppage time for their win over Brentford.
“What you do see is that at this moment in time it’s harder for us to convert our chances into goals,” he said. “That’s not only up to us, that’s also because teams throw themselves in front of every ball every time we get a chance. So many of the other teams try to prevent us from scoring because all of them are in a low block.”
