Arne Slot has said he will not accept mediocrity at Liverpool and every player who wears the famous red shirt must attain the highest standards.

Liverpool went top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Wolves on Saturday but their new head coach remains critical of aspects of the performance. Slot will become the first Liverpool manager or head coach to win eight of his opening nine matches should his team defeat Bologna in the Champions League at Anfield on Wednesday.
