A vocal minority of supporters on social media have been calling for Slot's head in recent weeks, but despite the team's poor form, he is not under any immediate pressure from FSG or Michael Edwards. There were wholesale changes to Liverpool's squad over the summer, and the Reds have also suffered with several injuries since the beginning of the season.

So that's the reason why it (the team's form) has been frustrating the last few weeks. "People calling for him to be sacked - that's absolute nonsense.

"He's not — he's explaining the reality and the fact of the situation. But what he is saying is he's game for fixing it, he's up for fixing it, and tonight's the first chance he gets to do that." Slot faced criticism after suggesting that his Liverpool squad lacked depth in the wake of the League Cup defeat by Crystal Palace.
