Arne Slot sits one point short of a milestone no Liverpool manager has yet reached so quickly in the club’s top flight. After 43 Premier League games, Slot has accumulated 99 points and needs a single point from Saturday\u2019s trip to Crystal Palace to reach 100.<\/p>\n
Reaching a century of points at such speed would rewrite the club record table. Historic benchmarks show Kenny Dalglish reached 100 points in 48 games, David Ashworth did so in 56, and J\u00fcrgen Klopp, Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan each reached the mark in 57 games. Slot\u2019s current total after 43 games places him within striking distance of that fastest-to-100 figure and gives him several fixtures in which to secure the final point.<\/p>\n
Kenny Dalglish reached 100 points for Liverpool in 48 games, meaning Slot needs just one draw from upcoming games against Palace, Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford to make the record his own. A single draw would be enough to eclipse Dalglish\u2019s benchmark and set a new standard for the club in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n
Klopp\u2019s own landmark came in a different context. The former manager reached 100 points in 57 games but later claimed the fastest to 300 points record from Dalglish, doing so in 146 games compared to Dalglish\u2019s 150. Slot\u2019s early return to Liverpool suggests he is on track to challenge such long-term records as well.<\/p>\n
Slot\u2019s managerial record before joining Liverpool offers context for his current form. During his time with Feyenoord, he accumulated 307 points across 135 Eredivisie games. That haul produced one league title in 2022\u201323, a success he matched in the Premier League in just one year at Liverpool. The immediate target now is modest: secure one point and become Liverpool\u2019s quickest manager to reach 100 Premier League points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
