Justin Setterfield/Getty Images Former Liverpool star Charlie Adam has admitted the Reds will be in a full blown crisis if they lose to Aston Villa at Anfield this weekend and talked up the match as huge for Arne Slot. Though it was a much-changed side, consisting mostly of young players, Slot has been criticised and Liverpool are now out of a competition they reached the final of last season.

Liverpool now play against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, who have been staging a recovery following a poor start to the season, in the Premier League on Saturday night. Aston Villa have won their last four league games and beat Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City last Sunday.

Slot was able to rely on Jurgen Klopp’s team to win the Premier League last season, but set about a big transfer window in the summer to bring in his own players. If Liverpool suffer further defeats in the Premier League there will likely be question marks over whether they can even finish in a Champions League spot this season.
