And the Reds boss rejects the idea that Wednesday's Carabao Cup exit has increased the pressure to win on Saturday night.Slot's team were eliminated at the fourth-round stage 3-0 on the night as a much-changed side were beaten by a stronger Eagles lineup at Anfield.

Ismaila Sarr struck twice in the first half before Yeremy Pino rounded off the win for the FA Cup holders against a Liverpool team that saw 10 changes.It means the Premier League champions have now lost six of their last seven but Slot denied that the Cup loss means the game against Villa is even more important following a run of four successive league defeats.And Slot gave a positive injury update on Ryan Gravenberch, who twisted his ankle in the 2-1 loss to Manchester United earlier this month.“I think Ryan has a good chance," Slot said. "The other [injured] ones, they're going to be...let's wait and see tomorrow and Friday.

I don't know all of them but Ryan has the best chance from all of them.”Slot added: "I don’t think it is possible that if you lose six of seven to have even more pressure, if you are on a run of results like this if you play for Liverpool or manage Liverpool I know the pressure is there."Maybe the most positive thing about tonight is that [at] 2-0 down and not pushing for a goal, the fans were behind the team and supporting us and that gives me the feeling that on Saturday our fans will be incredibly supportive."
