However, Slot, who is also in his debut season in England, is determined not to underestimate his opponents at Anfield, particularly when questioned about possibly resting players at Fridays pre-match news conference.

"No, I certainly won't plan to rest any players as this is a significant match, and I have mentioned it before the first fixture a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford and Ill reiterate that they possess far better players, in my opinion, than what the current league standing reflects," he stated.
