Liverpool are cruising in the Premier League, as the Reds sit 8 points clear of City but Arne Slot tells not to get carried away. The Reds also have an opportunity to move 11 points clear if they beat City next week.
Even though Liverpool have won all their games in the UCL, Slot revealed it will be a difficult task to continue the Premier League form to the UCL. Only three times has an English side won the Champions League and the Premier League in the same season.

Arne Slot says Liverpool fans should not get carried away
Slot in his Post match press conference had revealed the importance of having a big squad to stay consistent.
“This league asks a lot from every player every weekend, and if you then play in Europe then it’s not always easy.” said the Liverpool manager Arne Slot
“There’s only a few teams in England have shown they can do this, and Liverpool have shown it in the past for many seasons. It’s why teams in England have such a big squad.”

“You saw [against Southampton], the three players that came in really had an impact on the game and that is also what we need in this league.”
Only two Premier League teams failed to win the title from 31 points in first 12 games. Newcastle in 1995/96 and Arsenal two seasons ago. Hopefully Liverpool and Arne Slot can maintain this consistency in the UCL and Premier League.
