Liverpool are ready to return to Premier League action as they continue the defence of their league title.

Arne Slot proved last season that any doubts over his ability to take charge and be a success at the club were unfounded when he won the league in his debut season.

The Dutchman has been a brilliant choice to lead Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp’s departure, with the energetic charisma of the German replaced by Slot’s calm demeanour.

What has been interesting this season is to see how the 47-year-old will approach his next season with the Reds, and so far, it has been a mixed bag.

The initial unbeaten run saw some subpar performances but great moments and, more importantly, results.

However, following that run was a three-game losing streak with two of those defeats in the top-flight putting Liverpool one point behind Arsenal.

Now, because of these results, many pundits have questioned Slot with Sol Campbell calling the manager ‘lucky’ because he inherited the team from Klopp.

The comments felt unfair, given that it is always difficult coming into a new league and performing as well as he did without making any proper signings of his own.
