Liverpool are in the middle of their poorest run of form in 22 years - and it could get even worse.

Liverpool are facing elimination at the group stage after an injury-time winner from Lyon substitute Cesar Delgado left them floundering behind the French side and Fiorentina.
Benitez adopted a defiant stance as he brushed aside suggestions the pressure might be mounting. He said: "My appetite for the job is as strong as ever."
