"We face a very strong team that were already really good last season and I think they have improved their squad a lot during the summer. If you then look at all the quality they have and especially one thing that stands out in the season until now - and what stands out in a negative way for us is we have conceded, if I include the [Athletic Club] Bilbao game, [from] four set-pieces."
"They can play in multiple ways, you can see how well they are managed by Mikel [Arteta] and they are working for five years together, because they can play almost every style there is in football. That tells you how well managed they are. One of their strengths is set-pieces and that is an area where, if you look at Monday when we faced Newcastle we conceded two and against Bilbao two, we need to improve."
Arne Slot is cautious about Arsenal's set-piece strength ahead of the champions' meeting on Sunday. Liverpool have conceded four set-piece goals when including the Athletic Club Bilbao game and allowed two set-piece goals against Newcastle. Slot highlighted Arsenal's versatility, five years of work under Mikel Arteta, and ability to play multiple styles. Slot said set-pieces are an area needing improvement despite Liverpool's strong defending last season. Liverpool have won their opening two games but showed defensive vulnerability at Newcastle. Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz in the summer.
