Liverpool manager Arne Slot has claimed his side should be considered favourites for the Premier League title this season – but not because of their spending power.
Speaking ahead of the new campaign, Slot highlighted the Reds' squad depth and tactical adaptability as key factors in their title credentials, rather than their financial outlay in the transfer market.
Squad Depth Over Spending
Slot pointed to Liverpool's balanced squad, blending experienced stars with emerging talents, as a major advantage. "We have players who understand the league, young players with hunger, and a core that has won trophies," he said.
The Dutchman also emphasised the importance of tactical flexibility, suggesting Liverpool's ability to adapt mid-game gives them an edge over rivals.
Title Race Dynamics
While Manchester City and Arsenal have also strengthened, Slot believes Liverpool's cohesion under his leadership could prove decisive. "It's not about who spends the most, but who gels the fastest," he remarked.
With key players returning from injury and new signings settling in, Liverpool fans have reasons for optimism as the season approaches.
