JAKARTA - Liverpool are aiming for three matches that Arne Slot's manager calls the final. This started with the match against Southampton in the Premier League England competition at Anfield Stadium, Saturday, March 8, 2025 tonight.

Liverpool are getting closer to the championship threshold. Victory over Manchester City and Newcastle United with the same score 2-0 made Liverpool already far behind Arsenal who became their closest competitor.

Moreover, Arsenal lost five crucial points after losing 1-0 against West Ham United at London Derby and then drawing 0-0 against Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool were already 13 points ahead when they hosted Soton, who almost certainly went to the Championship Division for occupying the bottom of the standings by pocketing nine points and winning only two matches. This is a very contrasting duel as Liverpool itself is perched at the top of the standings.

Appearing at Anfield and having good capital after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the first match of the last 16 of the Champions League, Liverpool are highly favored to win and at the same time widen the distance between points with Arsenal.

When the target is achieved, Liverpool will definitely be 16 points ahead. This will put pressure on the Gunners who played a big match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Sunday, March 9, 2025 evening WIB.

After fighting Soton in the domestic competition, Liverpool again faced PSG which was also held at Anfield, Wednesday, March 12, 2025 in the morning. Furthermore, the Reds tried to defend the Carabao Cup title against Newcastle United, Sunday, March 16, 2025 evening WIB.

"There are three finals played in one week. This is also a one-week game that fans have been waiting for. I hope supporters sing the loudest song ever voiced. Not for the final match or against PSG but in this match [against Soton]," said Slot.

Slot called the final match against Soton. How not if they win, their chances of sealing the league title are increasingly open. Even Liverpool can do it before the competition ends.

"I assure the players that we have three final matches. I hope it will affect fans. So don't let them come to the stadium five minutes before kick-off," said Slot, who could not accompany the team for serving his sentence.

"I want the stadium to be fully occupied half an hour before the match. So players are like getting an award for their performance," he said.

Liverpool are at the top of their performance. In the last match against PSG in the Champions League, they were completely suppressed. Even goalkeeper Alisson Becker struggled to save the net.

With constant pressure, Liverpool actually managed to take advantage of the gap to score in the 87th minute. Midfielder Harvey Elliott put Liverpool 1-0 up.
