After Liverpool defeated ­Manchester City 2-0 to take a crucial step towards the title, Arne Slot admitted being 11 points clear of Arsenal places them in a “good position” .

First-half goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai were enough to lengthen their lead, though Mikel Arteta’s side have played one game fewer than the Merseyside club. Slot was asked if it is now Liverpool’s cham­pionship to throw away.
