Liverpool drew against Leeds (0-0) in the Premier League on Thursday, but Arne Slot's side are already unbeaten in seven games. However, the Dutch coach believes Liverpool are not title contenders.

Arne Slot: “It's not enough”
Ahead of the scheduled duel with Fulham on January 4, Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool, spoke about the game performed by his team in the game with Leeds, which ended with the score 0-0. He spoke about the errors in the game of his formation, but also about the fact that he does not see Liverpool in the fight for a new title in the Premier League.
“Realistically speaking, Arsenal and Manchester City are too far away from us at the moment. We don't have to look at it“, said the Dutch coach, whose side are in fourth place, 12 points behind leaders Arsenal and 8 points behind second-placed Manchester City.
“We're unbeaten in seven games in a row, but if you say that, you'd think we're flying through the Championship. But that's not what we're doing. Every game we play is hard work. We are often the team that is slightly better than the opponent, but it is not enough.
It is clear that we find it difficult to create chances despite all the possession. The first nineteen games of this season have been a constant battle. He was often on the edge, sometimes with a little luck and sometimes with a little bad luck,” said Arne Slot, according to sportnieuws.nl.
