Liverpool boss Arne Slot says he hasn't lost confidence in his squad going into today's clash with Aston Villa.

The Reds host Villa after losing six from their last seven games.

But in his match programme notes today, Slot insisted:  “No-one needs me to tell them that our recent run of form has been tough. In simple terms, it has not been good enough for this club or for our supporters and the sooner we can turn things around the better.

“At the same time, I would hope that everyone can see the quality that we have here and because of this is able to recognise not only the possibilities we have but also what can be created going forward if everyone continues to stick together.

“It is never easy to emerge from a difficult spell, of course. If it was as easy as doing a few things differently we would just do it but football, or life in general, does not work like this. So in the absence of an easy solution the only option is working as hard as ever, believing in one another and giving everything that we possibly can, whatever our role.

“I would not look for positives at a time like this because that would not make sense at a club like Liverpool, where expectations are always rightly so very, very high, but what I would say is that no-one should underestimate the effort that we are seeing from the players on a daily basis.

“What we are seeing at the AXA Training Centre is a squad that is totally committed on all fronts and this has not changed from last season when we were experiencing very different results in the main. With this attitude it will hopefully not be too long before things start to turn around."
