Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he is not worried about his position following his side’s stuttering start to the season.
The Reds have won just once in five Premier League games going into Sunday’s Merseyside derby against rivals Everton at Goodison Park.
Liverpool are ninth in the league – four places and a point behind Everton.
“I’ll always work the best I can. But I’m not seeking any reassurances,” said Rodgers when talking about his job.
“It’s not something I’m worried about,” he added.
Everton came back from 2-0 down to beat West Brom 3-2 on Monday in the league and, although there little separating the teams going into the derby, Rodgers has been under increasing pressure.
The Reds boss added: “Everton have done well. They are a point ahead of us. They’ve had a good start and we’ve had a disaster.”
Liverpool drew 1-1 at home to Swiss side FC Sion in the Europa League on Thursday. And one of their only two wins in the last eight games in all competitions came during penalties against League Two side Carlisle in the Capital One Cup.
“We are back into that flow of creating chances,” said Rodgers. “We go to Everton with confidence.
“There is no greater pressure than what I’ve had before. We are five points off the top. The players and I are very calm.”
