Liverpool have made progress from the previous coach and they can also be handled well by the new coach so what is happening now is that Liverpool are still quite consistent. Diaz and Mo Salah are a good combination and actually that happens because the midfield has a role in maintaining the rhythm of the game. Liverpool's steps in the Champions League are still quite difficult because there is a lot of competition here that will make it difficult for them.
But when the team plays more well coordinated and the players can show high dedication then I am sure Liverpool will be much better than Manchester City. It takes time for coaches to make it happen and even then it's not easy because there are many teams that are probably much more prepared for this moment.
Liverpool have good progress performed under Arne Slot not only in domestic league but also have won 2 of 2 matches in Champion League after defeating the Serie A teams AC Milan and Liverpool. Looks not get difficult for Liverpool reach the UEFA Champion League spot place directly qualify to knock out round by finish on top eight standings place, actually Liverpool have won 8 of 9 matches all competition between domestic league and champion league matches.
Upcoming match, Liverpool will face RB Leipzig in Champion League but in this weekend will face big match against Chelsea at domestic league, I doubt will Arne Slot make huge rotation for playing full teams in Champion League match or Liverpool will play with second composition team facing Leipzig keep focus for Premier League match against Chelsea.
