Arne Slot wants Liverpool to win Premier League title in front of packed Anfield
Liverpool last lifted the trophy five years ago in an empty stadium due to Covid restrictions, having won a first title in 30 years.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admits his side have a big responsibility to fans to win the Premier League at Anfield.
Five years ago Jurgen Klopp’s team lifted the trophy in an empty stadium due to Covid restrictions, having won a first title in 30 years by 18 points.
Although there were celebrations outside the ground – both on the night they were confirmed as champions after Manchester City lost at Chelsea when Liverpool were not even playing, and the final game of the season – there was no victory parade for fans to show their appreciation.
With just one point needed from their remaining five matches, Anfield is gearing up for a party at home to Tottenham, who have their eye on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final first leg to save a dreadful season, and the expectation is that confirmation will come on Sunday.
But Slot knows he and his players cannot be consumed by the occasion.
“It’s a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact that the last time this club won the league it was Covid time, so everybody is looking forward to Sunday,” he said.
