Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes it is "too early" to describe his team at the best in the world, despite being labelled as such by Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

Arne Slot says that Diogo Jota will be out for “weeks rather than months” after the Liverpool attacker suffered another agonising injury setback. The Portugal international missed Saturday’s dramatic win at Brentford after complaining of discomfort in a muscle following the midweek draw with Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool have been nothing short of extraordinary under Arne Slot this season. The Dutchman replaced the seemingly irreplaceable in Jürgen Klopp over the summer, but has done a far better job than anyone could have imagined. The Reds are top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and are still in both cup competitions.

Liverpool return to Champions League action when they host Lille at Anfield on Tuesday night but will be without the injured Diogo Jota.
