Alisson urges team-mates to 'create own history'



Goalkeeper Alisson has urged his Liverpool team-mates to "create our own history" as they chase the Premier League title in their first season under manager Arne Slot.

Slot's Reds are six points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand over second-placed Arsenal.

Brazil international Allison was part of the Liverpool squad that won the Premier League title under former manager Jurgen Klopp in 2019-20, ending the club's 30-year wait for a top-flight crown.

"That team was really special," Alisson said. "We achieved great things. It was the first Premier League title in a long, long time.

"We achieved [won] the Champions League together as well the season before.

"There is no comparison with both situations.

"What makes me happy is this group of players - we have the quality to do something special. The most important thing is the commitment that is needed to win something is there."

Alisson is one of the nine players who has featured for Liverpool this season who also played in the 2019-20 campaign.

Liverpool won their league title under Klopp by holding a lead throughout much of the campaign, but in the season before they saw a 10-point lead overhauled by Manchester City.

Slot's side travel to West Ham on Sunday knowing they can again extend their current advantage.

"We don't have to compare ourselves with the teams in the past," Alisson said.

"We have to create our own history this season, this group."
