Arne Slot reveals his thoughts on Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations – and sends message to critics who claim the competition is WEAKER this season

Arne Slot insists that he has made no plans to celebrate yet even though Liverpool could clinch the Premier League title on Sunday.

If Arsenal lose to Ipswich and Liverpool go on to beat Leicester, Slot’s side will secure the league with five games to go but as it stands, the Dutchman is planning to travel to Holland on Monday to see his family.

‘There’s no plans to celebrate yet. At this moment in time, not at all. I’m only thinking about trying to win a game of football against Leicester and then we have two days off so I will go back to Holland on Monday,’ said Slot. 

‘That’s what my life is. The plan is to go to Holland on Monday and Tuesday and be back here for Wednesday,’

There is also a possibility that Liverpool could win the title on Wednesday evening when Arsenal host Crystal Palace and if not, then they will get the chance to win it at home when Tottenham Hotspur visit Anfield next weekend.

Spurs are one of four English sides still left in Europe and Slot stressed that regardless of what others think, he has no doubt about the strength of the Premier League this season. Liverpool are currently 13 points clear, with six games to go.

Slot also said that he has no doubt about the strength of the Premier League this season

‘Arsenal don’t have to win the Champions League because we are all sure that the Premier League is by far the best league and the most difficult league in the world. I don’t think anyone can debate that,’ said Slot. 

‘Is it stronger than the season before or two or three seasons before? That’s up to everyone to debate but when you see Aston Villa being so good against a team (PSG) that together with Man City have unlimited amounts of money to spend – the team that is seventh in the Premier League were unfortunate not to go to extra-time like we did against PSG but they deserved it. 

‘And that could be an example of saying “yes, the Premier League is really good at the moment”. But others could come up with reasons why it isn’t as good as it was last season or the season before. The amount of points could be an argument. 

‘City, a few years ago, got 100 points and then Liverpool had 99. Was that the best Premier League ever or was it too easy for Liverpool and Man City to win their games? You can look at things whichever way you want. 

‘I don’t care how other people look at it. The only thing I care about is the league table. I like to look at it at the moment – and I hope I can still like to look at it in one, two, three, four, five or six games.’
