"We know we need to win a lot of games, because our competitors for these Champions League places are very good teams as well. Winning a lot, that is where our focus is. Not so much about points and gaps, although we are aware of the table."
"The way I see it, this is another game for us, and we are not so focused on other teams as all managers always say. We are only focussed mainly on ourselves."
Liverpool face West Ham at Anfield seeking to strengthen their bid for a top-four Premier League finish and Champions League qualification. Currently sixth after 27 matches, the Reds have had an underwhelming league campaign but qualified for the Champions League last 16 via the league phase. Manager Arne Slot emphasizes the need to win multiple games ahead, acknowledging strong competition from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. Liverpool hold a 47% chance of securing a Champions League spot, though a fifth-place finish could also guarantee participation. Historically, Liverpool dominate West Ham, losing just one of their last 19 Premier League meetings. However, midfielder Florian Wirtz is unavailable due to a minor back problem.
