The Reds currently sit in fifth in the division, in a battle for qualification for the Champions League, having lost ten matches in a season for the first time in a decade. ‌Brighton star Danny Welbeck scored a goal either side of Milos Kerkez's strike, with the Liverpool defender nipping in to capitalise on Lewis Dunk's error. ‌"We have seen it quite a few times this season now where they put a lot of effort, perform really well on the Champions League stage," Gerrard offered on TNT Sports. For his part, Slot accepts that he is under pressure, despite guiding Liverpool to a league title last season.
