Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Rob Edwards has spoken highly of Arne Slot, describing him as ‘amazing’ after facing the Liverpool manager twice within a week.
Wolves pulled off a surprise 2-1 win over the Reds in the Premier League, despite being rooted to the bottom of the table and staring down relegation.
They meet again on Friday in the FA Cup fifth round, and Edwards has praised both Slot and the Liverpool squad ahead of their cup encounter.
Rob Edwards speaks highly of Arne Slot and ‘good’ Liverpool
In an interview with Sky Sports, Edwards said: “We know how good Liverpool are. I always try to be very respectful of the opposition, but especially this opposition.
“They’ve got an amazing manager who’s won things, and then obviously players that are all used to winning the biggest of titles.
“But we have to go into the game believing and I want the fans to as well.”
Despite their struggles this year, another defeat for Liverpool against Wolves on March 6 wouldn’t come as a huge shock. Before this week, Liverpool had lost only once in their last 16 games against Wolves across all competitions.
Sutton said: “With the heat that is around him, I don’t think Slot is in a position where he can afford to play a weakened side here – he has to go strong to try to avoid another shock result”.
“I still think we will see another surprise, though. Wolves are going to throw everything at Liverpool. They are still going down, but can they make it to Wembley too?”
