London: Arne Slot says his Liverpool team are "matching his expectations" after their flying start to the season as he prepares for a tough test against Arsenal.
The Reds are top of the Premier League with seven wins in their first eight matches and have also won all three of their Champions League games so far.
On Sunday Slot takes his side to face Arsenal with the chance to move seven points clear of the Gunners.
He told reporters on Friday that he was expecting a tough test at the Emirates against Mikel Arteta's men, who are missing key players.
"If you look at the last two seasons, Arsenal were far ahead of us, but also above Chelsea (whom Liverpool beat 2-1 last week)," he said.
