With a win against Leicester City this weekend, Liverpool could seal the deal if Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town. But Slot isn't getting ahead of himself. When asked if he's thought about the title, he was honest: 'No, I'm not sure you believe me, but that's the honest answer. I live in the moment, in the day, and I'm not looking backwards or forwards a lot.'

Slot admits that football can be all-consuming, but he's learned to focus on the present. 'People tell you to enjoy the journey, but as a manager, you're always thinking about the next game,' he said. 'That's why I live day by day and try to influence each day.'

While a win against Leicester isn't imperative, Liverpool fans want the title sooner rather than later. Leicester have been struggling this season, losing 3-1 to the Reds in their previous meeting. Slot will be living in the moment, hoping to pull off another victory and inch closer to his first Premier League title.
