Liverpool manager Arne Slot has suggested that Premier League leaders Arsenal can leverage their set-piece prowess when they host London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
He shared these thoughts during his post-match press conference after his team thrashed West Ham United 5-2 at Anfield on Saturday.
According to the Dutch tactician, Liverpool were at one point 23 goals behind Arsenal in terms of set-pieces scored.
He added that he would not be surprised if the Gunners scored three goals against the Blues in their Week 28 fixture.

Speaking to journalists, Slot said: “There was a time when we were behind Arsenal by 23 goals in set-pieces, including penalties.
“Now, we are not just three goals behind them; we’ve managed to close that gap a little bit.
“You never know what can happen with Arsenal this weekend, because I wouldn’t be surprised if they scored three from set-pieces against Chelsea as well.”
Following the Reds’ emphatic win over West Ham, Slot now shifts his focus to his team’s upcoming Premier League match against Wolves on Tuesday.
