Liverpool's 10 remaining targets this season after Premier League title glory secured

So , and now for the victory lap. , and you can bet that their fans are going to enjoy them.

From marching down the King's Road to Chelsea, welcoming title pretenders Arsenal to Anfield, taking a summer stroll along the beach in and then the big trophy lift on the final day against , you just know that Reds fans are about to have a marvellous May.

For and his players though, there is still some serious and not-so-serious business to attend to. Matches still have to be played, final tables have to be calculated and plans have to be made for the title defence next season.

Slot will have his eye on just how plenty of his players get on over the next month with a view to whether or not they'll be coming along for the ride next season, with a focus soon to turn towards transfer business.

So what are the aims that will be on the agenda for the Reds boss over the next month? And what can his squad of players do in order to live up to his extremely high standards? Here's a look at just what we could be about to see from the new champions.

1. Pick up as many points as possible

We'll start with the serious stuff, and the one that Slot is sure to be preaching to his players right now. reached 82 points when they beat Spurs last Sunday which is the same amount they managed in the whole of last season, and so the remaining four games give Slot a chance to show just how much he's improved the group left to him by .

It is also a chance for the Reds to surpass 90 points for the fourth time in seven seasons (97 in 2018-19, 99 in 2019-20, and 92 in 2021-22), a remarkable run of consistency especially when you consider that is something are still to achieve even once.

2. Help Mo Salah to more records

The Liverpool squad won't need to be told this one, because will make sure they know. The Egyptian, now the highest scoring foreign player in history, already holds the record for the most goal involvements (goals + assists) in a 38-game Premier League season with 46, but that won't be enough for him.

That's because the 47 achieved by Andy Cole in 1993-94 and Alan Shearer in 1994-95, both 42-game seasons, are in sight. So two goal contributions in the remaining four games will see Salah break yet another record, and you wouldn't bet against him would you?

3. Put down a marker for next season

There was a period when we thought that Liverpool vs Arsenal on the third to last weekend of the Premier League season could be a winner-takes-all classic in the mould of , but then the Reds ran over the hill and far away.

Instead, Arsenal's mood is going to be dictated when they arrive at Anfield on May 11, with jubilant home fans sure to be reminding the visitors just who the champions are.

There'll be a guard of honour too, but there is more at stake than just bragging rights. Liverpool will want to show Arsenal just what they're up against if they want to make a better title tilt next season, and in many ways Slot might see this as the first game of the 2025-26 campaign.

4. Influence the Champions League race

Would Liverpool have a preference over who they'd want to miss out on the ? They wouldn't say so publicly, but it is reasonable to conclude that they wouldn't mind if the richer clubs didn't make it.

Removing, say, from the Champions League equation would potentially take out a rival for spending on players, as well as deepen a sense of unease at a club who could easily get motoring again if only they found the right path. , and they'll want to win.

5. Get Conor Bradley some more experience, if he's fit

There's nothing official yet of course, but when you've got Kenny Dalglish already , and the man himself , then the prospects of Liverpool's first-choice right-back staying beyond this summer don't look good.

If that is to be the case - and even if a new right-back is signed - then Conor Bradley, who missed the Spurs win with a knock and hadn't yet returned to training by Wednesday, is going to need to be built up both physically and in terms of game experience, and some minutes against the talented left-wingers Liverpool will face for the remainder of the season should surely be welcomed.

6. Outscore and possibly outdefend Jurgen Klopp's champions

We all know that the very end of Liverpool's 2019-20 triumph was blighted by Covid, and that in turn affected some of the numbers that that great side posted as they returned to action as champions in empty stadiums, but if Slot's side could score more goals than that one spearheaded by Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino then that would be some achievement.

Klopp's team finished on 85 goals from their 38 matches, with Slot's currently on 80 from their 34 and so well on course to surpass them. Defensively, Klopp's side conceded 33 goals that season - including 12 in nine behind closed doors - while Slot's are currently on 32, and so they could prove to be meaner than them too.

7. Get Ryan Gravenberch a goal

In August if you'd suggested that Ryan Gravenberch would get to May and have started every single one Liverpool's Premier League games then you'd have got plenty of funny looks, but like Virgil van Dijk and Salah he's on 34 out of 34.

The Dutchman has been a revelation in the No.6 position, playing 46 games in all competitions and proving himself a bedrock of the title success. One thing he hasn't got though, is a goal.

Gravenberch isn't shy of taking an effort from distance, but - understandably given his change in position - he's so far failed to trouble the scorers for the first time in any of his professional seasons. Four to go, Ryan...

8. Send the forwards into the summer with confidence

Gravenberch hasn't scored at all, and neither Diogo Jota or Darwin Nunez have got anything like the number of goals they'd have wanted this season either. Neither are in double figures across all competitions for the campaign (Jota nine, Nunez seven), although both can say they have made big contributions to winning the title, with Jota grabbing a crucial equaliser at and a Merseyside derby winner, and Nunez getting a big, big late brace at Brentford.

It's just... not really enough though is it? Luis Diaz and have been far more effective attackers this season, and the Reds are widely expected to bring in a new forward this summer. Nunez is likely to go, and maybe even Jota too, so perhaps a goal or two could help attract a few more suitors?

9. Make Federico Chiesa an 'official' champion

Discounting injury time, Federico Chiesa has played just 33 minutes of Premier League football across four games in his career, and now he's part of the title winners. Well, kind of.

Players are officially required to have featured in five matches in a league title winning season , although these days clubs themselves are given a batch of 40 medals and are allowed to do whatever they want with them. There's pride at stake here though, so surely the Italian - who has always seemed a happy, non-disruptive presence at the club despite his lack of action - will get the one more appearance needed to 'officially' be a champion, won't he?

10. Protect Wataru Endo's stats at all costs

He was seen in the thick of the celebrations last Sunday and quite rightly so, with Wataru Endo having now featured in exactly half of Liverpool's 34 Premier League games this title-winning season.

All 17 of those appearances have come from the bench though, with Slot opting to use the Japanese international in an enforcer role late on in matches, something he's proved to be absolutely perfect at. And that perfection can be seen in Endo's quite glorious fouls per 90 minute data, which currently stands at a princely eight, miles ahead of his closest competitor Will Hughes on 2.9.

What's more, his limited number of minutes on the pitch means that he hasn't been booked once either. What a man. Protect him and those numbers, Liverpool.
