Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate revealed head coach Arne Slot told his side at the start of the season that they could win the Premier League.

After succeeding Jurgen Klopp one of the first things the Dutchman highlighted to the squad were a few minor areas he felt would make the difference between them finishing third, nine points off the pace, as they did in 2023-24, and winning a record-equalling 20th championship.
