Liverpool manager Arne Slot is desperate to find solutions after three consecutive defeats for the English Premier League champions in what is turning out to be a mini-crisis for the Dutch manager after a dream first season where they coasted to the title with four games to spare.

Ahead of their clash against bitter rivals Manchester United, Slot urged his team to get back to winning ways.

"I think it should not matter who you are playing. It doesn't matter if Manchester United are coming or Brentford next week. If you've lost three games in a row and you wear the Liverpool shirt, there should always be a reaction," said the Dutchman.

Despite United's ongoing travails - they are currently 10th in the league - Slot admitted that the encounter against the two English footballing heavyweights will always be special.

"I look forward to every single EPL game, but even more towards the United one, because I know how special it is. It's also a game where we have to be at our best, because United, in my opinion, has had a better start to the season than the league table is showing. [It'll be] a very interesting game and a game to look forward to, especially because it's played at Anfield," he added.

Meanwhile, Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim advised his team to approach the game with a positive attitude after he himself received public backing from co-owner Jim Ratcliffe despite Manchester United having flattered to deceive under the Portuguese manager's time at the club.

"We can win any game, if we think about winning the next game, we can win the next game. If we are to be the same level as Liverpool in the future, that is the idea, I think we are playing better [this season], but we still need to do better in both boxes," said Amorim.
