Arne Slot has called on Liverpool to turn promise into consistency as they open 2026 with a Premier League clash against Leeds United at Anfield. The Reds come into the New Year unbeaten in seven matches across all competitions and buoyed by four successive wins, a run that has helped steady momentum after an uneven start to the campaign.
With memories still fresh from the dramatic 3-3 draw at Elland Road in early December, Slot believes this rematch presents an ideal moment to take another step forward, a theme also echoed in SoftFootball 's coverage of Liverpool's growing confidence heading into the contest .
In his programme notes, which were shared on the clubs official X account , Slot reflects on how quickly circumstances can change in a short period. He points out that while only a month has passed since the two sides last met, both teams have navigated a demanding schedule and emerged in good form.
