LIVERPOOL baas Arne Slot says there is still a long way to go on the home stretch, despite his manne having one hand on the Premier League trophy.
A 1-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday thanks to a Diogo Jota strike in an electric atmosphere at Anfield restored Liverpool’s 12-point lead over Arsenal with eight games left.
The Reds next face ninth-placed Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday (3pm kickoff).
And Slot says: “In theory so many things can happen. We felt yesterday how hard it is to win a Premier League game.
“It tells you that with eight games to go, every game is a challenge - starting with Fulham, who are having a very good season as well.
“We are not working on theories about how many points [we need], we are taking the challenge of Fulham where we will need to be at our best again to get a result.”
