LIVERPOOL may have beaten the European champions and Premier League title holders in the past seven days - but Arne Slot warned this week will be even tougher.
The Reds boss (right) is keen to keep his league leaders on their toes ahead of trips to Newcastle and big rivals Everton.
Slot's side are nine points clear at the top of the Premier League after beating Manchester City on Sunday.
And they have one foot in the Champions League knock-out stages following the home win over Real Madrid last week (Cody Gakpo scoring, right).
Tonight they travel to Newcastle, a happy hunting ground for them. They have won four of their last six at St James' Park, their last defeat in 2015.
But head coach Slot is taking nothing for granted despite Liverpool's incredible week. He said: "We have shown that at home we are very physically strong but after two wins like this it is sometimes difficult to show up again and again and again in an away game.
