Will Unwin got to sit down with Liverpoolâ€s hottest striker.

What other guidance has Slot offered Ekitiké? “Obviously keep my shirt on,†he says with a smile. “I would say heâ€s on my back, but not for a bad thing. He just wants to help me, so I donâ€t take that badly. He wants me to give more and more. Maybe sometimes you feel like itâ€s a little bit too much and you want to complain. Itâ€s a good thing because I think if a coach doesnâ€t like you, he will not speak to you or not try to get the best of you.â€

Jonathan Wilson has previewed Sundayâ€s big game; itâ€s not a title decider, more an eliminator.

Never before, not even in the four years when he had Lionel Messi in his side at Barcelona, has Guardiola focused his play so much on one player. After overhauling his squad since January, everything is geared to creating chances for Erling Haaland, who has scored a preposterous 27 goals in 17 games for club and country this season.

Cityâ€s leading scorer in the league this season after Haaland is Maxime Estève, who scored two own goals in Cityâ€s 5-1 win over Burnley in September. Once Guardiola would demand his side played 15 or 20 passes to deal with a potential counter before launching an attack; now everything is about trying to play Haaland in quickly behind the opposing defensive line.
