Arne Slot's side have a game in hand after the Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park was postponed due to the adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh.

Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah scored for Liverpool but Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo ensured both sides shared the spoils.

After the game, Slot expressed his disappointment saying: "It feels for us as two points dropped. I think many people, what stays in their head for a long time is what happens in the end and that was a big chance for [Harry] Maguire, of course.

"But what we tend to forget is two minutes before, Virgil [van Dijk] had maybe such a big chance as he had to make it 3-2 for us. In the end, it was a difficult game. A bit similar to maybe the Nottingham Forest game, where the playing style of both teams was quite similar.

"Defending in a low block with a lot of bodies and if they had the ball, not the risk of build-up but play it long. Every free-kick they got somewhere in and around their own half or our half, they brought it in, so that was a bit similar to Forest.

"That is not always easy then to play against that style of football and that’s what showed against Forest and it showed again today.

"Especially if they have such good, quality players that can defend so well, then it is not so easy to play it through that low block that they had."
