Dutch head coach has rotated his squad to build a collective confidence machine in his first few months in charge
After 19 matches under Arne Slot, Liverpool have failed to win just twice, drawing and losing once. In the opening four matches, the new head coach made a solitary change to his starting XI, but since then necessary tinkering with and rotating of his squad are yet to throw Liverpool off course.
Sixteen of Liverpool’s players are already in double figures when it comes to appearances in all competitions as Slot manages minutes and ensures everyone is at optimal level to perform. While Pep Guardiola, Slot’s opposite number on Sunday, has needed to chop and change his Manchester City side repeatedly without success, on account of injuries and form, the Dutchman has manipulated his resources to keep the Premier League leaders flying.
