Leicester vs Liverpool: What the managers are saying

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Leicester

"The general quality of the squad is very balanced. Mohamed Salah's form has been a huge factor in them achieving their goals, and also Arne Slot and his assistants have done a tremendous job in their first season to be in this position to be able to win it."

"My thoughts are not on that (winning the title in this match) at all. My thoughts are, as always, on Leicester and on our team: how to improve, what can we do better. We couldn’t do many things better in the first half against West Ham [United] but we could do a lot of things better in the second half. So, during the start of the week we have worked on that a lot and now we are working towards Leicester. One game at a time and influence the one we can influence, and that’s the Leicester game."
