The 34th round of the 2024/25 Premier League will see a much-anticipated match, with Liverpool taking on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Although Liverpool is only one step away from securing the title, Sloter stressed that the Reds will still face any opponent with their usual mentality.

With Arnold's goal in the last round of the Premier League, Liverpool finally beat Leicester 1-0 at home. After 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 rounds, Liverpool currently ranks first in the standings with 79 points, 12 points ahead of Arsenal, which played one round earlier, which means that Liverpool only needs to get at least one more point to lock in the Premier League championship in advance.

Liverpool manager Slot said at a press conference, “This is a big responsibility, because we all know that the last time the club won the league title was during the COVID-19 pandemic. So everyone is looking forward to this game, but we also know that there is still one last step to complete and we need to get at least one point.”

"Hopefully our fans will understand when they come to the stadium that they need to continue to support us in the best way they have throughout the season, but also realise that we still need a point. This is a game to look forward to, but it is also a responsibility we must shoulder."

In addition, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Nottingham Forest in the last round of the league, and has only achieved 1 win and 1 loss in the past 5 rounds. In order to prepare for the UEFA Europa League semi-final against Bodø Glider next week, Postecoglou's team will definitely strive to get back on track to prepare for another focus game.

Slote said: "We are going to play Tottenham Hotspur, who are also fighting for something special, maybe not in the league, but in the Europa League, so they will definitely want to be in their best condition against Bodden Town. Our focus now is only on Tottenham Hotspur. We will prepare for this game in the same way as we have throughout the season, and I hope the players can participate in the game with the same energy and mentality as they have throughout the season."

Hope Gomez returns in time

"I enjoy every time I step into Anfield, but once the referee blows the whistle, or even when I have a tactical meeting before the game, all my focus is on getting points or winning the game. Our only goal is to win, a draw is not enough for us. The moments I really enjoy are mostly the 3 to 5 minutes after the game, when I walk off the field. "

Sloter continued, "When you enter the locker room, you will see one or two players who are depressed because they did not play. At this time, you have to start to deal with these situations again, and then you have to face the media. The time to really relax and be happy is very short, only 3 to 5 minutes, and then you have to return to the normal life of a coach. The real enjoyment comes after the referee blows the final whistle."

In addition, Sloter hopes that defender Gomez can return to the team in time before the end of this season. Sloter said, "If his recovery goes well, he may be able to play in the last one or two games of the season. However, he has not started training with the team yet, but he is getting closer and closer to returning."

"He's been out for a long time. We were talking about Connor Bradley before, and even if he recovered, it took him a while to really integrate into the team and get a chance to start. If his recovery goes well, I think he will be able to return in the last few games."
