Arne Slot has hailed Florian Wirtz for his confidence following his return to Liverpool’s side, with the German having played a big role over the last couple of games. The 22-year-old though has impressed on his last two outings though, having been lauded for his display in the 2-0 win over West Ham, while providing the pivotal moment to earn his side a point against Sunderland - even if he was cruelly denied his first goal for Liverpool.

While his teammates continue to struggle though, Wirtz looks as though he may be slowly finding his feet in the Premier League, with Slot insisting that even having his goal against Sunderland taken off him shouldn’t dent the confidence he has shown recently. “So he has a lot of confidence but it's also clear he came back with an injury from Germany, so I am happy he can play so many minutes.

Wirtz will be aiming to make his third successive start when Liverpool travel to Leeds on Saturday, with the pressure still on the Reds after a disappointing display in the draw with Sunderland. But we just have to work hard and stay together as a team and as a club, and hopefully we will be more successful.
