Arne Slot said that the next step for his Liverpool team is to be as dominant as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City was prior to this season.

But everyone is going to try for it next season: he, Mikel [Arteta], and me as well."

Speaking earlier this year, Guardiola appeared to suggest the Premier League had become competitive for a team to win it in the manner that fans became accustomed to seeing City doing
