Solanke realistic over Liverpool chances

This season, he has been kept out of the starting lineup at Anfield by the imperious form of Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino, despite continuing to shine for England at youth level. 

He has made just three starts for Liverpool, and every one of his three goals this season have come with the England under-21 side. 

"It's always frustrating when not playing but I'm enjoying it at Liverpool. You can say it's different (to Chelsea)," said Solanke.

"Being at Liverpool there's a lot of competition and there are going to be tough times but coming to England is always another time to express yourself.

"There are crazy players at Liverpool, especially in my position, and I've definitely learned a lot.

"You always have to take the positives and we are doing so well at the moment. The front players have been phenomenal, its a good lesson.

"Mo is on fire, I'm so happy for him, and he is unstoppable and it's helping us a lot."
