🆕🏆 Arne Slot’s pre-recorded message after winning the North West Football Awards’ manager of the season:

🗣️”To win this award, I haven’t been so long in the North West of England, but I know how much history this part of England has when it comes to great football clubs.

“And great managers work for these football clubs, so to win an award like this is of course very special to me. But like I always say it is definitely not all about me, it’s about my coaching staff who I work with, who have helped me achieved what we have achieved last season.

“And it is not only the coaching staff, it is everyone who contributed to us doing something special. They deserve a big thank you from me. I hope you all have a great evening and I hope to be there next year, hopefully winning it again. I want to wish you all a great evening and once again thanks for this award.”

GOOD MORNING REDS
IT'S MATCHDAY

Xabi Alonso says he has no doubts that Florian Wirtz will succeed at Liverpool, saying he wouldn't be the Real Madrid boss without the contributions of the Germany international at Bayer Leverkusen.

"For sure, I have no doubts. It is just a matter of time. For sure it is a big change for him to come to Liverpool after so many years in Germany, he’s been there all his life. And a few years in Leverkusen.

"He needs to adapt but he is a really special player. He has quality and personality and he’s competitive, so when he makes that trick, it has happened with great players in the Premier League before and I’ve no doubts with Flo.

"He is very special and probably one of the reasons I’m here now, is because of Flo, so I’m very grateful to Flo. Hopefully not tomorrow but I’ve no doubt he will show his quality and class."

💪 No Alisson Becker vs Real Madrid or Man City, but Giorgi Mamardashvili is raring to go for !

🗣 "Keep pushing"

Arne Slot admits he is unsure how Liverpool's supporters will greet Trent Alexander-Arnold's return when Real Madrid arrive at Anfield for Tuesday's Champions League clash.

“I can only tell you what kind of reception he gets from me; I have great memories of the player and the human being.

"He was my vice captain last season and I have memories of working with him which were only positive and have memories from watching him on television which were only positive as well – I can remember multiple great moments of his in a Liverpool shirt.

"He will get a warm welcome from me. Let's first wait and see if he is on the pitch tomorrow. How the fans [respond] I have no clue how that's going to be but he gets a warm welcome from me, that's for sure."
