In many ways, Slot’s main job has been to build on and improve the outstanding squad left behind by his predecessor, who averaged 80.33 points in his last three seasons at Anfield.

Four more victories would see Liverpool break the 90-point barrier after Slot tightened the defence and brought more control to the midfield.

“They’ve amassed these points by winning when it’s hard, winning when it’s ugly, winning when the
