Slot warns Liverpool of tough test against Leeds’ physical style

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has said that his team should expect a tough test due to Leeds’ style of play ahead of Saturday’s Premier League encounter.

The Dutch coach made the remark after Leeds’ impressive win over Chelsea on Wednesday.

Speaking to the club’s website, Slot explained that Leeds United are likely to pose more defensive challenges for Liverpool.

Slot said: “I looked at Leeds versus Chelsea and I saw a Liverpool game: Chelsea conceding a set piece and then a big, big error. Leeds went very aggressive in one-v-one and then a low block to stop chances. It is difficult for us that style, and many other teams.

“We saw them coming back from two down to Man City. Foden made the difference with a moment of magic there and against Chelsea Leeds were very strong. What to expect is what we have faced in many other games.

“Every game is a physical test, especially with how teams play against us but also the best athletes in the world play in PL, so every game you play is physical, let alone an away game with the fans that are a big support for them.”
