Arne Slot has said he will not accept "mediocrity " at Liverpool as they look to build on their encouraging start to his first season in charge.

Here are the key lines from his news conference: He expects Diogo Jota to be available, despite missing two training sessions, but Federico Chiesa will miss out because of injury. On Chiesa: "It's a pity for him. I am not expecting him to be out for a very long period of time. We will see if he can be in the team for Saturday."

Liverpool manager Arne Slot warns his team must learn the lessons taught by Atalanta and not ‘underestimate’ Bologna in the Champions League tomorrow. ‘It’s a difficult team to beat.’
