Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Praises Newcastle’s Alexander Isak Ahead of Premier League Clash
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has heaped praise on Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, calling him the Magpies’ “golden boy.” Slot’s comments come ahead of the two teams’ Premier League clash at Anfield on Wednesday.
Slot also expressed his admiration for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, acknowledging the attacking threat that the Magpies possess. The Reds are looking to maintain pressure on league leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand and trail Liverpool by 11 points.
The match against Newcastle will be Liverpool’s first since their big win over defending champions Manchester City. The Reds enjoyed a break last weekend, which saw West Ham defeat Arsenal, further widening the gap between Liverpool and the Gunners.
Newcastle has already proven to be a formidable opponent for Liverpool this season, securing a 3-3 draw in their first Premier League clash at St. James Park. With 11 Premier League games remaining, Slot’s Liverpool will be looking to capitalize on their momentum and solidify their position at the top of the table.
