Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confidently shared his thoughts on where he anticipates Chelsea will finish in the Premier League this season.
Arne Slot’s comments came in the wake of Liverpool’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday, a match characterized by thrilling moments and standout performances from key players.
In this encounter, Mohamed Salah was instrumental, netting a goal and assisting another that propelled Liverpool to success, while Curtis Jones also played a crucial role, contributing significantly to the team’s offensive effort.
This victory marks an important moment for Liverpool, allowing them to create a bit of distance between themselves and their competitors.
As a result of this match, Chelsea now find themselves in sixth place on the league table, accumulating 14 points from eight games. Despite their current position, Slot remains optimistic about Chelsea’s potential for the remainder of the season.
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Slot acknowledged the challenges Chelsea posed during the match, especially in the second half.
He said, “I think everyone that saw the game knows that this wasn’t easy, and I said before that Chelsea showed in the second half of last season how good a team they are.”
He emphasized that Chelsea’s recent investments in players augment their capabilities, showcasing their commitment to building a competitive squad.
Slot concluded with a strong belief in Chelsea’s talent, predicting that they will not only recover from this setback but, in his opinion, will ultimately finish the season in and around the top of the Premier League standings.
“For us, it’s very good that we made a bit of a gap towards them, but I believe they will be a formidable force as the season progresses,” he said.
