Slot will speak to the media on Friday morning
Good morning and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of Arne Slot's press conference to preview the Carabao Cup final.
Liverpool head to Wembley on Sunday to face Newcastle United looking to retain the trophy they picked up a year ago. In 2024 the Reds beat Chelsea in memorable circumstances, with Virgil van Dijk's extra time header the difference between the side.
The match could be the perfect tonic for Liverpool after Champions League heartbreak in midweek. The team played well against Paris Saint-Germain, although the penalty shootout exit will have no doubt taken plenty out of the squad.
Slot will be asked about the fitness of Trent Alexander-Arnold after he hobbled out of that encounter. Ibrahima Konate also left the field in discomfort, although the Liverpool head coach played down any major concerns about his condition after the game.
The match will also be a big moment for Slot, who has the chance to secure silverware in a major final before what looks to be an inevitable Premier League triumph.
Paul Gorst and Theo Squires will be in place for the press conference, which gets underway at 10 a.m. (GMT). Stick with us for build-up, updates and reaction to what Slot has to say.
