Arne Slot has admitted he feels guilty about Liverpool's “ridiculous” slump, a collapse that no one at the club envisaged, and said he must prove himself to everyone at Anfield on a daily basis.

Slot is dealing with the worst run of his managerial career after Nottingham Forest inflicted a sixth defeat in seven Premier League games, and eighth defeat in 11 matches in all competitions, on the champions on Saturday.

Liverpool host PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League tonight and Slot revealed their predicament has stunned the entire club. Asked to describe the situation, the Dutchman replied: “Ridiculous, almost. Something I didn’t expect to be in, not at any club I worked at let alone if you are the manager of Liverpool. That is unbelievable.

“It is unexpected for the club, me, everyone, but we are also working at a club that if you ever needed to face this maybe this is the best club to face it because the harder it gets at a club like this the more we are together, the more we are trying to do the things Liverpool usually achieves.”
