Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that he is the favourite to be sacked, following a dreadful start tot he season.

    The Reds narrowly missed out on the Premier League title last season and are keen to build on their previous heroics.

    However, not all is going to plan and 41-year-old coach Rodgers believes he now needs to watch his back.

    Many reports in local press have claimed that the Northern Irish coach is now ‘favorite’ to be sacked.

    “A few months ago I was manager of the year, now I’m tipped to get sacked. All I can focus on is what you can control, ” he told reporters.

    Rodgers also confirmed that Mario Balotelli, will have to continue to wait for his first Premier League goal for the Reds, with injury ruling him out of this weekend’s clash.
