Former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has said he believes the Reds will recover after their difficult start to the season.
Jurgen Klopp's side were beaten 2-1 at Anfield by Leeds United on Saturday, their fourth league defeat of the season and their first home loss in the competition since March 2021. Their tally of 16 points from 12 games is nine fewer than at the same stage last season, and leaves them well adrift of the top four.
Liverpool have been more impressive in Europe, winning four of their five group games to make it through to the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Benitez won the competition with the club back in 2005, as well as securing a runner-up finish in the Premier League, and expects his former side to turn things around.
