**Liverpool manager Arne Slot has provided an update on the team’s injury situation ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday.**

Slot confirmed that forward **Diogo Jota** will miss the game due to injury. However, he offered a glimmer of hope for the return of **Federico Chiesa** and **Conor Bradley**. Meanwhile, goalkeeper **Alisson** continues his recovery but is not expected to return until the Carabao Cup tie against Brighton at the end of October, meaning he will also miss the Arsenal match.

**Looking ahead to the game against Arsenal, Slot acknowledged the difficulty of playing away from home**, comparing it to their recent home match against Chelsea. He stressed the importance of gaining points against title contenders, saying, “Nobody knows who the biggest competitors will be at this early stage, but Arsenal will be one so winning points against them is important.”

**Slot also highlighted Liverpool’s impressive defensive record, crediting their dominance and control in most games**, adding, “There are two reasons why we don’t concede a lot. Most games we have dominated and controlled, so you have the ball but also during difficult parts [of games] our work rate is incredible to not concede.”

**The manager expressed confidence in his team’s ability to handle a challenging week with three away games.** “It’s part of our lives and it is what the players are used to. You know these challenges are here and they know how to look after their bodies,” Slot said.

**When asked about his personal goals since joining Liverpool, Slot emphasized his focus on maximizing his team’s potential.** “The expectation was in the way I wanted to see the team play and they are matching that,” he said.

**Liverpool currently sit atop the Premier League table with 21 points after eight matches.** They are also one of just two teams to remain unbeaten in this season’s Champions League, having secured nine points from their first three games.
