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.

Liverpool will be without Federico Chiesa against Bologna after the forward picked up an injury in training. Arne Slot gave multiple injury updates in today's press conference ahead of the Reds' second Champions League fixture.

With two games to go before the October international break, Liverpool are looking to collect every available point and go into the break at the top of every available table, starting with a visit from first-time guests Bologna.
