EPL: Arne Slot names three teams more intense than Liverpool

Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has named three teams that are more intense than them in the Premier League.

The Reds begin their title defence against Bournemouth on Friday.

Ahead of the match at Anfield, Slot has hailed Andoni Iraola’s men as one of the toughest teams to face.

The Cherries finished ninth in the top-flight last time around and Slot claims they are “probably the most intense team in the league” – ahead of Newcastle United in second and Arsenal in third.

He told reporters: “Bournemouth were probably [the] most intense team in the league [last season], for running.

“Then Newcastle and Arsenal, which sums up this league. Bournemouth are intense.”
