Alisson not yet, Giorgi Mamardashvili will train today. Mohamed Salah ‘very close’ but not trained yet. Ibrahima Konate is back after a personal issue saw him miss training. Florian Wirtz has been unwell but is back. 1:15 On last three games: The opposite has happened where we've had good performances and not a good result, and we've not often had a bad performance and a good result. We usually need a good performance to win a game. 2:22 slot in Chelsea: Lot of very good individual players, let's hope we have a very good team performance as well.All managers have their own idea about football, they've had three this season.

Usually three centre-backs. 3:20 Arne Slot on criticism: "The season has gone in a way that even if we have three wins everyone will be positive about the season...if I can choose, I would prefer to win three times with three very good performances but that will not silence the criticism." 4:04 On players lacking belief: These players are used to winning.The performance clearly in the Premier League we didn't pick up the points we should have.We haven't had a very good season in the Premier League but we've played better and not got the points we should have 6:04 Conceding from counter attacks: In moments we have been vulnerable at counter-attacks. Not like we've conceded loads. At Manchester we conceded two. But that's not the only thing we've been vulnerable at. 8:26 Slot on team bonding: Recently we have quite good example of players who aren't that old at PSG but have the standards to win a game with 11 players attacking and defending toget
