Arne Slot emphasizes the need for Liverpool players to maintain mental composure for the upcoming Merseyside derby against Everton. Following a disappointing FA Cup loss to Plymouth Argyle, Slot's focus is on resilience and tactical discipline as Liverpool tries to extend their lead in the Premier League. This match marks a significant occasion, being the last league encounter at Goodison Park before Everton relocates. Historically, Liverpool has performed well in similar derby conditions, and they remain unbeaten in their last 19 league matches.
"It is probably going to be a fantastic atmosphere and that is never easy to play against because every single time they cross the halfway line or get a corner, the fans will cheer for that."
"You have to be mentally really strong as an away team to resist all that. I hope they can focus on what they have to do, but it is not only tactical, you also have to stand up to those emotions."
