Xherdan Shaqiri has opened up on his lack of playing time at Liverpool this season - and revealed his one Premier League wish.

The Swiss international, who was speaking ahead of the Reds' Champions League trip to Napoli, admitted he feels 'downbeat' in response to his lack of minutes this term.

Shaqiri told Switzerland broadcaster, Teleclub: "It is not easy for me, of course I am a little downbeat.

"You have to be able to handle that and you have to accept it, I was always still in the squad.

"You cannot ask the coach to play every match."

The 27-year-old was called into action on 87 minutes as Liverpool looked to salvage a point in Naples.

In replacing Jordan Henderson at the San Paolo, the No.23 accrued his fourth appearance of the campaign and went on to insist he feels 'comfortable' at Anfield.

Shaqiri insisted: "I feel very comfortable here. We have a great coach, a great club. There’s a family feel.

"I hope we can bring the Premier League back to Liverpool after 30 years."

The playmaker will be looking to play a part this weekend as Jurgen Klopp's side make the trip to Stamford Bridge to do battle with Chelsea.

With victory against Frank Lampard's Blues on Sunday, Liverpool would extend their winning streak to 15 consecutive Premier League games.
