Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that there is no unrest among the players at Anfield.

The Reds have endured a difficult start to the season, with seven defeats from 16 games leaving them in 11th place in the Premier League table.

The Merseysiders also had their Champions League hopes dashed last week as a draw with Basel saw them exit the competition at the group stage.

When asked if his players were unsettled, Rodgers told reporters: "Our dressing room is very strong. Our captain is a strong leader. Anything said about any unrest is totally untrue.

"When you manage at Liverpool, there is always going to be pressure. The expectancy on us this year is how we played last season. This year the dynamic has totally changed.

"Internally we are very stable. We are disappointed, of course, with how things are going. There is still a long way to go in the league and the points difference can be made up."

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday night when they travel to Bournemouth in the League Cup quarter-finals.
