Welcome to our live coverage of Andoni Iraola's Liverpool press conference at the AXA Training Centre to preview Sunday's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace. The Reds boss will be with us at 1.30pm.
And there's plenty to discuss. While there were positives to take from last Sunday's 1-0 home loss to new leaders Arsenal, there was little to cheer after Wednesday's 3-2 defeat at Fenerbahce in the Champions League.
That means, after five straight wins in all competitions, Liverpool head to Selhurst Park for their final match before the international break on the back of back-to-back defeats.
That ramps up the importance of winning against a struggling Palace side whose new manager Pierre Sage is coming under increasing position.
Iraola, rightly, is not facing the same scrutiny. But after the first real low of his Anfield reign, the head coach may face some probing questions in the press conference, as well as being quizzed on the latest on Ryan Gravenberch and his squad's other injured players.
Paul Gorst is at the AXA Training Centre to bring you live updates.
