Slot: I'll deal with Reds' form, not my contract

LIVERPOOL boss Arne Slot is only worried about arresting his side’s worrying slump amid reports of him signing a new contract.

Liverpool's loss last Saturday at Brentford

The Dutchman is facing the first real test of his Anfield reign as the Premier League champions have suffered four successive defeats as part of a wider run of six losses in seven games in all competitions.

Despite that, reports suggest Slot is in talks over a new deal, but that is not where his focus is.

Asked about a possible new contract, he said ahead of tonight's clash with Aston Villa: “That was the last question I was expecting.

“My focus is completely getting Liverpool back on winning ways, that’s my first answer.

“My second answer is that contract talks if they are there we never speak about this in here. The first thought is to win again, that’s where my main focus is on.”

Serious questions are being asked of Liverpool and the cause of their severe drop-off from the side that coasted to the title last season and won their opening seven competitive games this term.
