"We have lost a few games, much more than we usually do and now we have won two so our focus is on getting consistent and improving and getting players fit and then we will see where that will lead to. But at this moment in time definitely not the only focus we have is the league table." Slot has been outspoken on the tactics and playing style of the opposition this season, admitting Liverpool has struggled to deal with long balls.

That wasn't the case against Villa and Real, and the Liverpool head coach said on Friday that he hopes City deploy the same tactics this weekend.

"We always knew we were able to do so, I have shown them many times when playing styles were similar we could do the same as we did against Madrid, so it wasn’t a surprise to me how both games went. "What we can expect from City is the playing style we always see but the difficult thing is they are very good in it and have very good players so that makes that challenge big again."Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
