BREAKING NEWS: Arne Slot has confirmed disturbing news for Liverpool fans before the Man United match.

Arne Slot couldn’t help but laugh when he was asked the first question at his Friday morning press conference. The Liverpool manager was speaking to the media ahead of Sunday’s match against Manchester United at Anfield, a fixture between two bitter rivals in very contrasting positions, with Gary Neville openly dreading the clash.

Liverpool are currently six points clear at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand over second-placed Arsenal. On the other hand, Manchester United are struggling in 14th place, having lost five of their last league matches.

**Slot Rejects Rotation Suggestion**

One journalist asked Slot if he might rotate his squad on Sunday, considering United’s recent troubles and Liverpool’s busy January schedule. The question prompted an amused response from the Liverpool boss, who laughed and answered, “That’s a strange question!” before composing himself and responding (via Liverpool FC on YouTube):

“No, of course I’m not planning to rest any player, because it’s a big game. I said it before the first match and I’ll say it again: they have much better players, in my opinion, than their league position suggests. It might take Ruben Amorim time to get the best out of them, but they are much, much better than their current position.”

**Slot’s Reaction Speaks Volumes**

The suggestion of resting key players for a Premier League match against Manchester United, especially at this point in the season, seemed ludicrous to Slot. Despite Liverpool’s packed schedule and their strong position in contrast to United’s, no serious manager would consider fielding anything less than their strongest XI in such a high-stakes rivalry.

Liverpool have had a full week to prepare for their fierce rivals, ensuring that the players are well-rested for the important match. Slot and his team are wise enough not to underestimate United, who will surely come to Anfield eager to disrupt Liverpool’s momentum.

The encounters from last season serve as a reminder of the dangers of complacency—despite being outplayed at times, United managed two league draws and an FA Cup victory over Liverpool. Slot fully understands the intensity and unpredictability that this historic rivalry brings.

Fans can be confident that Slot will select his best lineup on Sunday, looking to strengthen Liverpool’s title challenge while inflicting further misery on Manchester United’s already challenging season.
