Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has hinted Simon Mignolet is still adjusting to being the club's No1.

Rodgers is aware Mignolet will be under the spotlight after a nervy cameo as a substitute at Burnley.

"Like everyone, Simon has had a wee bit of flak. But to operate at this level, you have to be able to deal with that," said Rodgers.

"He came on against Burnley and had a couple of edgy moments, and he will recognise that. But it will help his confidence to keep a clean sheet. That is what he wants as a goalkeeper and what we want as a team.

"This is an opportunity for Simon to prove his worth."
