This Saturday, Liverpool will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield. The Reds are currently unbeaten in six consecutive games across all competitions and have won their last three matches.
Manager Arne Slot wrote in his column: “First of all, I would like to wish everyone celebrating Christmas a Merry Christmas. I know football is a special tradition for the English at this time, so it is an honor to play in front of our own fans, especially to be with them on the last day of 2025.”
“There is no doubt that we want to end this year on a high note. We have made progress in recent weeks, but we also clearly know there is still a lot to improve. Our victory at Tottenham last weekend showed this – although I am very satisfied with getting three points, there were areas of our performance that were not satisfactory.”
“This is not to dampen optimism. It is important to be realistic so that we know how and where to improve, while also recognizing what we are doing well. After a very difficult period, we are now unbeaten in six games, which tells us we are on the right path, and now we need to take the next step.”
“This ability to unite is one of our most important qualities this year, a year that has brought us the highest highs and the lowest lows. Looking back on everything that has happened in the past 12 months, it feels like an emotional rollercoaster. Of course, the feeling on Saturday will be particularly strong, as this will be the first clash between his two former English clubs since Diogo Jota’s passing. Like us, Wolves have been deeply affected by the loss of this special player and person, and my thoughts will continue to be with them.”
“I would like to welcome Edwards, his players and staff, as well as Wolves fans and directors to Anfield for this game. They are fighting for the future, and no matter their position in the Premier League table, we expect to face the same tough test as we did in the two games against them last season. That is the nature of the Premier League, so it becomes particularly important to gain an edge in the nuances. Recently, we have done better in this regard than in previous weeks, so we need to keep it up.”
