Brendan Rodgers' future as Liverpool manager will become clearer this week when he meets with co-owner Tom Werner.

The American is expected in the city on Tuesday and is due to meet the Reds boss as part of his end-of-season review on Wednesday.

Sources close to Werner and fellow owner John W Henry have consistently played down suggestions Rodgers' job is under immediate threat.

Liverpool finished sixth and missed out on a place in the Champions League.

Rodgers, 42, was appointed as Liverpool manager exactly three years ago to the day but admitted after the 6-1 defeat at Stoke on the final day of the season that his future was in doubt.

Speaking after that match Rodgers said: "I've always said if the owners want me to go, then I go."

Rodgers came close to a first title win in 24 years in 2014 but endured a disappointing season this time around, with Liverpool failing to progress from the group stage of the Champions League and finishing sixth in the Premier League.
