Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has brushed off talk he is under pressure at Anfield.
There have been growing murmurs of discontent on Merseyside with the Reds having taken only one point from their opening three Champions League group games.
But speaking ahead of this weekend's visit of Arsenal, the Spaniard was unflustered.
When asked if he felt under pressure, Benitez said: "I don't think so, it's part of the job as a manager.
"Every week if you lose you will be under pressure, if you win then you are the best manager in the world. We just need to keep going."
Benitez is confident his side will bounce back to form against Arsenal at Anfield following Wednesday's shock defeat to Besiktas.
"When we played against Everton I said a derby would be a different game and it could be the same against a top side like Arsenal," added Benitez.
"They are top of the table now, but our team has confidence.
"The players are ready and for me they are playing better than before and we have a lot of positive news."
