Arne Slot will test himself against the very best next season as he prepares to take over from Jürgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.

You would also fancy Manchester United to improve in the summer following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent investment.

But Slot will now also have to get the better of a new rival, who has been something of a bogey team for Klopp over the years.

Leicester City suffered a surprising relegation to the Championship last term but has now secured an immediate return to the top-flight.

The Foxes, led by Enzo Maresca, claimed the title by beating Preston on Monday night and will now be looking forward to next season back in the Premier League.

That return does come with the threat of a points deduction though, after being charged with alleged breaches of Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

It is reigning champions City who has the best record against Klopp in Premier League matches since his appointment in 2015, beating Liverpool on five out of 18 occasions.

That was just one of two defeats suffered by Liverpool that season, as it missed out on the title by a point.

Foxes skipper Jamie Vardy, who could get another crack at the Premier League at 37, scored eight times in those matches and proved to be a real nemesis to Klopp.

He’s a very, very good player and that’s the main reason why he is such a threat.”

Leicester will have a point to prove after being promoted, and while Slot will be primed to challenge the likes of Arsenal and City, Klopp would be wise to relish his successor about the other challenges that await.
