Liverpool earned a 3-1 win over Leicester City in the Premier League.

Arne Slot praised the performances of Liverpool’s out-of-contract trio in the victory over Leicester City.

However, he refused to give an update on the respective situations of Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold after moving seven points clear at the summit of the Premier League.

The Reds earned a 3-1 win over the Foxes at Anfield. They had to battle from behind, with Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Salah - who bagged his 19th goal of the season - on target.

However, from 1 January, Salah can sign a pre-contract with an overseas club as well as captain Van Dijk and vice-skipper Alexander-Arnold. But Slot continued to remain tight-lipped on the triumvirate - as he has been since taking charge as Liverpool head coach.

Speaking to Amazon Prime, Slot said: "We don't talk about contracts in public.It is not up to me to talk about those situations in public. Mo Salah had a good game, Virgil had a good game, Trent, especially in the second half was very good."
