Arne Slot has revealed the secret to Liverpool’s success this season: a good night’s sleep.
No, the Reds boss is not the new star of an advert for Dreams or Bensons for Beds — although the commercial teams at those bed-sellers could be on to a winner here. He believes that an uninterrupted, comfortable kip with the family nearby is the best fuel for matchday.
One of the biggest changes Slot implemented at Liverpool was to scrap Jurgen Klopp’s policy of the squad sleeping at a hotel the night before all matches.
