Liverpool continues to lead the Premier League standings. Sloter said the team still needs to work hard.

With Salah and Soboslai scoring, the "Red Army" Liverpool defeated the "Blue Moon" Manchester City 2-0 in the focus match of the 26th round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Slot said that Liverpool is currently in a good position, but it needs to continue to work hard in the future to achieve its goals.

McAllister took a corner kick in the 14th minute, Soboslai received the ball and passed it back, and Salah immediately stepped forward and shot into the goal, helping Liverpool take the lead 1-0. In the 37th minute, Salah took Arnold's lob pass and entered the penalty area and then passed it diagonally. Soboslai seized the opportunity and shot into the goal, helping Liverpool expand their lead to 2-0.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. After 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 rounds, Liverpool currently ranks first in the standings with 64 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with one round to play.

When asked about the title race, Liverpool manager Slot said, "You can ask any questions, but it is very difficult to judge the situation in the standings before each game. In my opinion, the away games against Aston Villa and Manchester City are extremely difficult games, and we may lose points there."

Liverpool to face Newcastle in next Premier League game

In addition, Liverpool will face Newcastle at Anfield in the next round of the Premier League. In the first round, Liverpool was tied 3-3 by Eddie Howe's team.

"We are in a good position but we know it will be tough against Wolves," Sloter said. "We have a game against Newcastle and we drew 3-3 last time. In other leagues, it would feel more secure to have such a lead."

"We drew at Villa Park and people said we were not doing well, then three days later we won and the conversation changed. We were working hard every day to achieve our goals and it took three months of hard work to stay competitive like this. There was no secret, we were 11 points ahead but Arsenal had a game in hand."

It is worth mentioning that Liverpool striker Salah has contributed 25 goals and 16 assists to Liverpool so far this season, with an extremely outstanding performance.

Talking about the feeling of defeating Manchester City, Salah shared, "It's incredible. It's really difficult to play here. Manchester City is a very good team with a great coach. They control the tempo of the game, and I think they can beat any opponent at home, but I'm happy that we won the game in the end."

"This is an amazing team. They have won four Premier League titles in a row. Their strength is unquestionable. I hope we can stay calm, because sometimes at the end of the season, the pressure will affect the team's performance. So we must stay calm, play every game well and strive for victory."

In addition, Soboslai, who also helped Liverpool win, said, "We must keep moving forward. The next game against Newcastle will also be difficult. We still have 11 games to play. This season is still long. We must stay calm and play one game after another. I hope we can get to the top of the list in the end."
