Slot still happy despite quiet January transfer window
Liverpool did not sign any new talents this midseason window.
Slot only signed forward Federico Chiesa and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is spending this season on loan with La Liga side Valencia.
Both players were signed during summer.
However, Liverpool has defied expectations this season, climbing to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables.
With that, Slot is confident his players have the quality to lead his team to trophy.
“Maybe there aren’t many managers with as good a squad as I have,” Slot told a news conference on Wednesday.
“I’ve said it many times. We have a very good squad and if you look at the league table I think the players have shown the trust we have in them was correct. We don’t have many injuries, long-term injuries.
He added: “We did have some with Alisson [Becker], [Diogo] Jota, others but other than Trent [Alexander-Arnold] they are all available again today so there’s no reason to add to the team unless there’s a chance in the market. We saw that with the goalkeeper we brought in. But for now we’re happy with the team we have.”
All eyes on Carabao Cup

Newcastle has booked their first ticket in Wembley after a 4-0 aggregate win over Arsenal.
Slot is confident his players already understand the scale of the task ahead at Anfield.
“I don’t think I have to prepare them different to any other game, from now on until the end of the season and as long as Liverpool exists, you need to win the game,” he said.
“Even if we’re 1-0 down we try to win this. We were quite close in the first leg until the last few seconds, down to 10 and conceded a goal but nothing changes for this game. If you wear this shirt, if you play at Anfield; there’s only one thing expected of you: to win the game.”
