Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has revealed he will use Sunday’s Premier League clash against Chelsea to give fringe players in his squad game time.

When told that Man City‘s 19-gap in 2018 was the top flight’s biggest margin of victory – Liverpool are currently 15 ahead of Arsenal – Slot told press including the Liverpool Echo: “It’s interesting that you tell me this.

“I didn’t know. If I don’t know, I can’t use it. Now I might. But I don’t think that will light a fire in many players.

“What could help, we have to wait and see, but add one or two, maybe a bit more, players who haven’t played as much so that they can maybe create a certain new spirit.

“There’s no new spirit needed but you know what I mean. It’s two days before the game, mostly I come up with something in the last one or two days to try to get them going, but I haven’t thought about that much until now.”
