- Liverpool is still in dispute for the four competitions in the first term of Arne Slot
- The Reds face the fighters of the Plymouth Championship in the FA Cup this weekend
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Does Premier League really need to look at goal celebrations?
Arne Slot has revealed the secret of Liverpool's success this season: a good night of sleep.
No, the head of the Reds is not the new star of a Dreams or Bensons for beds, although the commercial teams of those bed vendors could be a winner here. He believes that an uninterrupted and comfortable kip with the nearby family is the best fuel for the day.
One of the biggest changes in the slot implemented in Liverpool was to discard the jurgen klopp policy of the team that slept in a hotel the night before all matches. The Dutchman is also giving his team more free days to prioritize the beautiful family time.
It is easy to identify as a reason for Liverpool successes so far this season and said: 'People who have more knowledge that I tell me that you always sleep better in their own bed.
'Dream is a very important part of obtaining the best possible performance. There is the argument to be at home with their families. But also being at home makes them better prepared for a game in the opinion of the people who tell me about this.
“If you use common sense, everyone can understand that they sleep better in their own bed than in a hotel bed.”

In terms of policy change, Slot added: 'I can't compare how it was, but it is definitely a strategy. I see them as human beings. We are working very hard here at the Axa or if we are playing a game … Yesterday there was a great example of how hard my players work.
'But if you just want to continue for such a long season because they never have a week or two weeks of rest, so I think at certain times they also have to be at home. Be a father, be a husband.
'If you are only a footballer for 15, 16, 17 years old with only three weeks of rest during the summer, it would not be human. If you are only a father or husband for three weeks of the year, that would not be human.
He is certainly paying off, since Liverpool only has two injuries on Sunday's trip to Plymouth.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will lose an injury to the thigh, although he is expected to be disputed to return against Everton in the mecrseyside derby on Wednesday, if Liverpool decides to risk the Goodison Park.
Tyler Morton is the only other injury, since England under 21 has a shoulder problem. It means that young midfielder James McConnell could have the opportunity to shine in Plymouth.
