Liverpool entertain West Ham United in the Premier League with the chance to move 13 points clear at the top of the table.

Second-placed Arsenal’s 1-1 home draw with Brentford on Saturday means the Reds could secure the title with two more wins, should the Gunners lose their next match.

media Sport takes a closer look at the match after an eventful few days for Arne Slot’s club.

With Mohamed Salah having signed a contract extension at Liverpool on Friday, manager Arne Slot now wants to tie up the future of defenders Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold to help the Premier League leaders finish the season strong.

The club said forward Salah, whose deal was set to expire in June, has signed a new extension that would keep him at Anfield for another two years.

While fans were thrilled by the news, anticipation is building over Liverpool captain van Dijk, who is out of contract at the end of the season and is tipped to extend his stay, while full-back Alexander-Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid.

“If you want to sign players or keep players, it is always a positive one of our star players has made the choice to extend,” Slot told a news conference before Sunday’s game.

“In general, people see me as relaxed and that has all to do with the trust I have in the quality of the players and the quality of leadership in [club owners] FSG. That is why I am indeed calm.

“They will do what is best for the club. If that is extending, then it is, if not, they will find a solution.

“I have also spoken to Mo and followed the process. It gave me confidence. Sorting them before the end of the season would be useful.”

Slot added that Salah’s decision proved that the Egyptian believes the club can compete for more trophies as they close in on the Premier League title this season with a 10-point lead at the top of the standings.

“He has always been judged as a player, but I also see him as a human being and he is humble, works hard and puts so much effort into becoming the player he is. He keeps up that effort every single day,” Slot said.
