There's little concern that the Dutchman is resting on his laurels after a sensational start to life on Merseyside.

Nor will his players be allowed to.

Liverpool are four points clear in the Premier League and on their way to the last-16 of the European Cup.

They've got a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Southampton next month, too.

Mo Salah has been one of the driving forces this season.

He's scored 16 goals - 13 in the league - and provided 12 assists.

Virgil van Dijk has been brilliant at the back, Ryan Gravenberch a revelation in midfield as a No.

6 and the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones thriving.

But there's more to come from someone like Dominik Szoboszlai while Harvey Elliott is back fit and among the squad, as well as Diogo Jota and we still haven't seen what Federico Chiesa will bring.

"We're not flying but we are doing well.

" said Slot as yet again he tempered excitement around their stunning start.

"I think there is more to come from the players into the team than we have showed until now.

"And that is the positive thing about the squad I inherited, most of them are still quite young and the best years normally are still to come.

"With players returning to fitness, it will be also about managing minutes for Slot - whose side face Fulham on Saturday - in a busy schedule of games.

"Although these players have done really well and sometimes that is the challenge we have now that if all the players are available they also still have to accept their roles," he said.

"And that is something we talk about a lot with the players.

But I have no complaints at all about that up till now.

"So everyone is very positive trying to get the best out of the team but the more players available the more difficult choices there are.

"But in a season where it has been Harvey, it has been Alisson, it has been Jota [injured] so hopefully they are all available now for the rest of the season but probably that [a fully fit squad] is never going to happen so that is why we need players like Harvey and Wataru [Endo], all these players, for the second half of the season because there will become a moment when we are definitely going to need them.
