Arne Slot insists Liverpool are still to prove themselves title contenders

• Liverpool second after four wins from five league games
• Slot: 'The fixtures that are coming are tougher'

Arne Slot believes Liverpool have yet to prove themselves Premier League title contenders despite the impressive start to his reign.

Slot is the first Liverpool manager, or head coach, to record six wins from his opening seven matches since Tom Watson in 1896. A fifth clean sheet at Wolves on Saturday would bring Liverpool a club record of conceding once in their opening six league games. The 46-year-old, however, who expects Alisson to return from a muscle injury at Molineux, claims his start has been helped by a favourable fixture list and it is premature to declare Liverpool contenders.
