00:00Looking ahead to this Merseyside derby, we spoke to Arnaud Slot earlier and he said he's not expecting a lot of difference from the first game from either side.
00:07So how do you see it yourself as well?
00:09Are you expecting similar?
00:10Well, I think Liverpool's league position would tell you that how they're playing is what they'll probably do.
00:17They've been in a great position.
00:20They've had a couple of really tough games, whether it be PSG in a tough game against Newcastle.
00:24So that can happen.
00:25No team's entitled to win all the games in football.
00:28So it's a big game.
00:29It always has been for us to go to Anfield and try and get a result.
00:32Always been incredibly difficult to get there and get a result.
00:35But we go again.
00:37We've got another chance to try it again.
00:38When it is two local rivals and we know the frenetic nature of these games as well, how difficult is it to spring a surprise on the opponents anyway?
00:46Well, I think we're getting late in the season.
00:47I don't know if there's many surprises.
00:49Some teams might have players back from injuries, some might not.
00:52Some may have injuries themselves.
00:54I don't think there's huge surprises in the Premier League teams too often nowadays.
01:00I think it's another Merseyside derby and a game we'll look forward to going and trying to win.
01:06What does this fixture mean to you?
01:07What would it mean to get that first Merseyside derby victory for yourself at Anfield?
01:11Well, it would be huge for us as a club to get that because it's not something that the club here have done particularly often.
01:17It's always been difficult.
01:19I remember going with a few draws here, which I remember well.
01:23It's always tough, but it's not just us.
01:25It's tough for a lot of clubs, whoever it's been in the Premier League, to go there and get results.
