Slot expects Reds to overcome 'hard knocks'

Arne Slot has vowed to "keep fighting", saying that his conversations with Liverpool’s owners have not changed despite his team’s deep slump.

The English Premier League champions were hammered 4-1 at Anfield by PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Nov 26 - their ninth defeat in their past 12 matches in all competitions.

It is the worst run of form for the 20-time English champions in more than 70 years.

Now the Reds face a trip to rejuvenated West Ham United on Nov 30, desperate to improve on their position of 12th place in the Premier League table.

Slot, who led Liverpool to the league title last season in his first campaign in charge, said in the aftermath of the PSV defeat that he was confident his job was safe.

He held a press conference on Nov 27, previewing the game against the Hammers, who look a different side under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Liverpool boss was asked whether he has spoken to the club's owners since the PSV game.

"We've had the same conversations since I've been here," Slot said.
