Arne Slot Targets Set-Piece Fix as Liverpool Stabilize to Fifth on Six-Match Unbeaten Run

Slot insists results have masked league-leading open-play chance creation.

Overview

  • Liverpool have halted their slump with six games unbeaten and risen to fifth, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea.
  • Only Bournemouth have conceded more set-piece goals than Liverpool’s 11, and Slot’s side have scored just three from dead balls in the league.
  • Slot highlights a minus-eight set-piece balance and says real progress will follow only when that deficit is corrected.
  • The head coach rejects using refereeing calls or misfortune as excuses and says the team should be higher in the table.
  • Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended for Wolves on Saturday, and Alexander Isak remains a long-term absentee.
