Arne Slot undaunted by Premier League challenge as Arsenal test awaits

Liverpool reclaimed their position at the table top with their win against Chelsea at Anfield Stadium earlier today as Arne Slot's side continued their brilliant run of form to take up another set of three points on the Premier League table.

It was a game that the Reds started on the backfoot as Enzo Maresca set up his side in a way to dominate the possession while creating controlled chaos and were possibly the better team until the Merseysiders got the penalty against the run of play. Egyptian messiah Mohamed Salah converted the penalty, and thereon the hosts started taking control of the game and being more calm on the ball.

The Mo Salah goal stands as his fifth against his former side donning a Liverpool badge, and the Reds went into the break with a one-goal cushion. However, they were left on the back foot once again as the second half started a tactical shift from Chelsea, seeing Jackson equalise in the 48th minute.

The game looked to open up just a Salah produced another moment of magic with his cross to Jones, who, with his late run, notched one behind Sanchez.

"The better the teams you face the more you need it [fight]. In the Premier League there are so many good teams so if you want to win at least you need to fight and then hopefully the individuals can make the difference."

More Liverpool News With this Slot showed that the Reds are ready for Arsenal as they visit Emirates Stadium next weekend in a six-pointer top of the table clash. And it sounds like Liverpool's head coach is fairly confident about his side's ability to rise to the occasion when they rub shoulders against top opponents.
