Bruno Fernandes offers shock defence of Liverpool's recent form ahead of FA Cup tie - they are NOT 'playing poorly' and he feels under the same pressure at Manchester United to score goals that Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have at Anfield

Bruno Fernandes has issued an extraordinary defence of Liverpool's recent calamitous form, saying the Reds are not playing badly and that they are a victim of their own huge success.

Manchester United play Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday and face a Merseyside team that has failed to score in its last four matches.

Liverpool also had their 68-game unbeaten Premier League home run broken by Burnley in a shock 1-0 defeat on Thursday. Despite this, Fernandes said the club are not in bad shape.
