Liverpool midfielder James Milner believes that his side are not far away from hitting their stride and going on a winning run.

The Anfield side have endured a disappointing start to the season, a run which saw Brendan Rodgers lose his job as manager.

Liverpool are also yet to win under new manager Jurgen Klopp, but Milner, who joined the Reds in the summer from Manchester City, sees reason for hope.

Milner told the Daily Mail: "We're not that far away. We've only lost two games this year. We have drawn eight of the last nine or something ridiculous like that."

"We're not a million miles away. We know we need to improve and know we can improve. We feel we can perform a lot better but we're not losing the games, looking on the positive side."
