Head coach Steve Cooper will ignore any “sideshows” as he focuses on trying to keep Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
The Reds have seen the cushion between themselves and the drop zone cut to just one point after a run of seven games without a win. They make the trip to relegation rivals Leeds United on Tuesday night desperately needing to turn around their miserable away form.
Cooper’s job has come under scrutiny as a result, with owner Evangelos Marinakis keen to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
