Slot was questioned if anyone were getting carried away with the club’s position.

“No, we are Liverpool," said Slot, "so players are used to being on top of the league. It would be very weird if a player at Liverpool is all of a sudden with his head in the clouds. So, no. But if we don't play well tomorrow, people will probably come up with that instead of saying that Palace did well or we maybe did other things wrong.  

"But I don't see this and it would definitely not be normal – for two reasons. These players are experienced enough to understand the league table after six games as well and the schedule we have compared to some other teams. Second of all, Virgil, Ali (Alisson Becker), Trent, Robbo (Andy Robertson), Mo, they won the league here, they won the Champions League here.  

“For them it's a nice thing to be on the top of the table, but I'm not expecting them to watch their mobile every second of the day seeing them being top of the table.”
