Liverpool manager Arne Slot calls for a strong response from his team after a disappointing defeat at Plymouth Argyle. They face Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday, aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Slot acknowledges the importance of the match and the need for his players to perform at their best.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot says the defeat at Plymouth Argyle was "not acceptable" and that his side have to bounce back against Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday .They now face Everton in the Premier League as they aim to extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points in what is set to be the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
"We have to show a different side of us on Wednesday because it was not only the result but the performance was far from what Liverpool standards are as well." The original game on 7 December was called off because of Storm Darragh amid fears for supporter safety and, while Everton were beaten by Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Saturday, they have won their last three league games under manager David Moyes, who replaced Sean Dyche in January.
"It is not the first time for these players that they are playing in atmospheres like this," added Slot, who could have right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold available after injury.
