Arne Slot has said that Pep Guardiola is "the best manager in the world" and has backed the Manchester City boss to "find solutions" to his team's recent struggles ahead of this weekend's clash with Liverpool.

Arne Slot hailed Pep Guardiola as an inspiration and said he is expecting the Manchester City manager to come up with a “brilliant idea” to end their winless run and show why he is the “best in the world” ahead of facing Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot isn’t taking Man City for granted this weekend, saying Pep Guardiola “always comes up with solutions” in a crisis. City were the favourites to win the Premier League this season, as they search for five titles in a row, but things have unravelled of late.
