Arne Slot has said Liverpool must be smarter in the 245th Merseyside derby having played into Everton’s hands on their last visit to Goodison Park.
Slot prepared for his first derby as Liverpool head coach by analysing last season’s 2-0 defeat at Goodison, which in effect extinguished Jürgen Klopp’s hopes of winning the Premier League title. The Dutchman was struck by the amount of free-kicks Liverpool conceded that night and insisted there should be no repeat against a Sean Dyche team that are dangerous at set pieces.
