Slot: “We signed two number nines for a reason” | Everton vs Liverpool Press Conference

Pre-match press conference with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot ahead of Everton v Liverpool in the Premier League.

Slot reacts to the devastating injury suffered by Hugo Ekitike, says Alexander Isak is back but not yet ready for 90 minutes, and confirms Joe Gomez will not be back for Sunday. He also says Jayden Danns is still building fitness with the under 21s and explains Liverpool still have other options at centre forward.

Slot looks ahead to the first Merseyside derby at Evertons new stadium, says last seasons referee decisions affected him more than the crowd, and insists fatigue from the PSG tie should not be a factor. He also speaks about Liverpools summer planning, away form, and why he still believes the future looks bright for his squad.
