Former Liverpool forward Michael Owen has backed Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak to shine at Anfield, despite the Reds' recent dip in form.
Arne Slot is facing his most challenging period as manager after a loss to Chelsea left Liverpool in second place in the Premier League ahead of the international break.
Estevao's goal resulted in a third consecutive defeat for the Reds, with another late goal conceded - the second in two matches following Eddie Nketiah's last-minute strike for Crystal Palace. Liverpool is just one point behind Arsenal in the title race and will next face bitter rival Manchester United, a team that is also struggling, in the Premier League.
The heat is on for the Reds, the reigning champions, after their summer spending spree, with questions being raised about their new signings and star player, Mohamed Salah, following some underwhelming performances this season.
However, Owen has brushed off talk of a mini crisis at Liverpool, insisting that a victory will quieten the critics.
He also spoke about the struggling duo of Isak and Salah, amid suggestions that the Swede's arrival has affected the Egyptian winger.
"It's interesting with Liverpool, if we spoke before the defeats, we'd be saying, what a fantastic start, five out of five wins in the Premier League, one out of one in the Champions League," he said, speaking to the ECHO via Casino.co.uk.
"After three defeats, suddenly it almost feels like a 'mini crisis,' or at least that's what people are labelling it.
"It just shows how fickle football is and how quick it can change. They've just got to make sure that they win their next game and bounce out of it, and then people will focus on something else again.
"In terms of their forwards, going through them individually. Mo Salah's obviously not going through his best of patches now, but you can never write him off. He's still fit and healthy and injury-free and been top of his game for years.
"There's no doubt, surely in anybody's mind, that he'll be banging him in again soon. Cody Gakpo is playing well, and did show some good signs last season, too.
"As for Hugo Ekitike, he's probably been my pick of the bunch in terms of the new signings; I think he's done very well. Alexander Isak is coming back after not really having a pre-season, so he's coming in and out of the starting XI to try and get sharp and fit.
"If I was putting a fan's hat on, I'd be relaxed overall. I'd be obviously disappointed with the Chelsea defeat, but Stamford Bridge is a tough place to go, it's never easy.
"I certainly can't remember ever winning there as a player. That game could have gone either way, and it's not like Liverpool are playing badly. I wouldn't be as hot and bothered as some people are about it."
