<p>According to<a href="https://x.com/OptaJoe/status/1869673040994537983" target="_blank"> OptaJoe</a>, new Liverpool boss Slot has become the joint-fastest to reach 20 wins in charge of an English top-flight team, alongside William Sudell with Preston North End in 1888-89, having done so in just 24 matches.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Many predicted former Feyenoord boss Slot would struggle to follow in the footsteps of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jurgen-klopp-last-ynwa-video-liverpool-boss-moved-emotional-goodbye-anfield-crowd-premier-league-final-day/blt7889e579ff09332d" target="_blank">Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool</a> but so far he is making it look easy. His side's 2-1 win against Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday saw him claim his 20th since replacing the German. The Reds have lost just once - against Nottingham Forest in September - under the Dutchman.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In his time in management, Slot has won the Eredivisie title and the KNVB Beker at Feyenoord. He also led the Dutch side to the Europa Conference League final in 2021, where they lost to Jose Mourinho's Roma.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Slot's Liverpool side return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon away to Tottenham, before hosting Leicester City on December 26.</p>
