Arne Slot assesses the current form of Darwin Nunez as Liverpool's No.9 gets set to the lead the line at Arsenal on Sunday
Arne Slot has challenged Darwin Nunez to continue building on his impressive performances in back-to-back victories over Chelsea and RB Leipzig when Liverpool visit Arsenal on Sunday. Nunez caught the eye off the bench in last Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea , helping out his team-mates tirelessly from a defensive perspective and leading the line after Diogo Jota was forced off with a first-half injury against the Londoners.
'The thing with Diogo, he is, in my opinion, more of a nine-and-a-half and also defensively you could almost see him as a midfielder and most midfielders defend better than strikers. So that is why we adjusted in the second half against Chelsea in our press because Darwin came in instead of Diogo being there.
