New era has got off to a bright start on Merseyside.

Arne Slot has made a quick impression since taking over from Jurgen Klopp this summer, and one former Liverpool star has given the Dutchman his approval. 

The Reds are second in the Premier League and have beaten AC Milan in the San Siro to open their Champions League campaign, with the only blot on their copybook coming with the shock home defeat to Nottingham Forest. 

Talking exclusively to DAZN, thanks to AceOdds, former Anfield hero Michael Owen is already a big fan of the new Liverpool boss and has praised his cool approach to football management. 

He said: "I have been impressed. The results have been very good in the main, obviously one slip-up against Nottingham Forest, but the win away at Manchester United was very good. The performances have been good, obviously winning away in Europe, in Milan was an exceptional result. So, it's been so far so good.

"Inevitably, when you lose games there will be questions about that type of game and obviously Nottingham Forest came and defended deep and hit on the counterattack so I guess people will be looking at that in the future because virtually every team will come to Anfield and sit back and try to hit on the break so being able to open defences up will be something that people will question and will want to see them doing, but so far really good results.

"I love his demeanour. He looks really cool, really calm, really in control. Not one of these managers that - I don't really like managers that don't look as if they're in control because that's reflected on their team as well. 

"I think he just looks the part, and the proof will be in the pudding, obviously, in the future."

Liverpool are back in action on Saturday as they travel to bottom of the table Wolves in the Premier League.
