Arne Slot targets highest Liverpool finish ahead of Manchester United derby

Arne Slot targets highest Liverpool finish ahead of Manchester United derby

The Reds currently occupy fourth spot on the league table, three points behind the Red Devils but tied on points with fifth placed Aston Villa.

"Every game you play has influence on your league position," said Slot at the press conference.

"So that's not only when you play Man United, it's every week in every game. But we are aware of the fact that it’s a very big game, not only because we play Man United, but definitely also to qualify for the Champions League and to get the highest possible position in the league table, which of course is something we want.

"We wanted to, of course, win the league. That's not possible. And then you have to try to end up as high as possible, and that's what we are trying week in, week out, and that's what we’re going to try Sunday again as well."

The Merseyside club will also be keen to avoid United completing the double over them this season following the 2-1 loss at Anfield in October last year.
