When the Premier League champions won their first five games, it was spoken about in gushing terms how the Reds squad were keeping their feet firmly on the ground in the early stages of the campaign.

So on the back of a run that sees Liverpool heading to West Ham United on Sunday looking to avoid their 10th defeat in 13, Slot cut as relaxed a figure as is possible in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.

The head coach said he accepts the severity of the situation he finds himself in but believes his team aren't far away from moving quickly away from the worst run of form since the early 1950s.
