A SOLD-OUT City Ground will be the place to be tonight, when Nuno Espirito Santo’s side host Arne Slot’s table toppers, only six points behind the Anfield outfit in third spot.

“I’ve always said you can judge the table best halfway through the season,” said Liverpool boss Slot, previewing the match.
