Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League, chasing Champions League spots after a tough start marked by a 1-4 home loss to PSV Eindhoven. Slot highlighted fixing counter-attacks and boosting open-play chances in training, drawing confidence from their 1-0 win over Burnley in September via Salah's late penalty. Mohamed Salah returns soon after Egypt's Africa Cup of Nations, while Andy Robertson earns praise for his mature response to fewer starts. With 11 games unbeaten across all competitions, Slot aims to extend that and sharpen the attack against relegation-threatened Burnley.
