Slot not ruling out quadruple with Liverpool in a ‘good place’ | OneFootball

Arne Slot is refusing to rule out a potential quadruple for Liverpool this season with the Reds ‘in a very good place’.

Liverpool booked their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 4-0 thrashing of Tottenham on Thursday night. The Merseysiders also lead the Premier League title race by six points and are qualified for the Champions League’s Round of 16.

This weekend, the club’s FA Cup campaign continues with a trip to second-tier strugglers Plymouth Argyle. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Slot said his team are in a good position to compete on four fronts.

Asked whether Liverpool could win an unprecedented quadruple, he said: “It’s difficult for me to judge because I wasn’t here last season, so I don’t know. I can only tell you that at this moment in time we are in a very good place. I’m not just talking about the results, but the players are fit and ready.

“We are in a good place but we also know how long the season still is and how many difficult challenges there will still be for us.

“I’m not expecting us to win every game like we did yesterday [4-0 against Tottenham], but that is also not what I ask of them. We just try to do everything to win every single football match.”

Slot said he will rotate his options for the weekend’s trip to Home Park. The Reds face Everton in the Merseyside Derby in midweek and the clash with Plymouth will see several stars afforded rest. The likes of Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa could come into the side.

“It is always a tricky tie, no matter what team you play, because it is an away game and it is probably their ‘final’, as is often the case when Liverpool goes anywhere,” Slot said.

“I think it is important in these moments for players that don’t get much playing time to have that playing time, so that if we ever need them then they are ready. If you never play them, it is so difficult for them to be ready if we do get some injuries or suspensions.

“We will definitely use some players that haven’t played so much.”
