Liverpool have faced criticism in recent weeks after their run of three straight defeatsFormer Liverpool striker Michael Owen has tipped Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak to succeed at Anfield as he remains relaxed about the Reds' current form. Arne Slot faces his toughest period in charge of the club after their defeat at Chelsea forced them to settle for second place going into the international break.Estevao's strike inflicted a third straight defeat for Liverpool and it was another late goal conceded, a second in as many matches after Eddie Nketiah's stoppage-time effort ensured Crystal Palace claimed the points.

The former Reds striker also discussed underfire duo Isak and Salah, after claims that the arrival of the Swede has impacted the star winger."It’s interesting with Liverpool, if we spoke before the defeats, we'd be saying, what a fantastic start, five out of five wins in the Premier League, one out of one in the Champions League," he said speaking to the ECHO via Casino.co.uk. He's still fit and healthy and injury-free and been top of his game for years."There's no doubt, surely in anybody's mind, that he'll be banging him in again soon.
