Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has dismissed claims Liverpool were in crisis going into Sunday's defeat.

The Reds were without defenders Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, captain Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah for Sunday's clash at Anfield.

But they made light work of Rodgers' Leicester side, who went into the weekend top of the table but ended it with a 3-0 defeat.

“Everybody spoke about Liverpool 's injuries," Rodgers said. “I don't go with that narrative.

“I don't see it as a depleted back line. I know they are missing Virgil van Dijk, but [Joel] Matip is a top player.

“Fabinho has played there against Chelsea and against top players. Andy Robertson has always played, Alisson is the number one goalkeeper and James Milner wherever he plays he does an incredible job."
