"If I have to win it 15 kilometres from here... I don't care where to win it," Slot told the club's official website.
"We know we still have to win two more games, which I have tried to come back to every single time: it has been on 32 occasions difficult enough for us."
Slot wants focus
The Dutchman is not underestimating the challenge Leicester will pose to Liverpool and wants his side to remain focused.
"First win two and that's the only thing we should focus on and this week we should try to improve, improve, improve more and more to give ourselves a better chance of winning a game of football next week.
"We face Leicester and everybody can talk, talk, talk, but what I saw is that for the first time in 11 games they scored two goals and got a result, so they probably have a bit more confidence going into the game now.
"We've shown in the last 32 games that there have only been two or three wins that were quite comfortable, but the rest of them were very, very, very hard work and that's our only focus, that's my only focus: winning a game of football."
Van Dijk: Let's see what next week brings
After Mohamed Salah signed a new contract last Friday, matchwinner Van Dijk hinted that there could be news regarding his contract over the coming week.
"I can say I'm very proud to captain my 100th game for Liverpool, it was an emotional day with the Hillsborough anniversary,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports.
"That was the main focus: get three points, get a step closer to all of our dreams - not just players, staff - everyone connected to Liverpool FC.
"Everyone knows how much I love this club, let's see what next week will look like."
