They remain fourth and a point above Liverpool, who have played a game more. <\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag said he hoped the 32-year-old goalkeeper will extend his stay at the club. His contract is set to expire in the summer. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has the most clean sheets in the league so we would not be here in this position without him,&#8221; Ten Hag told reporters. &#8220;He fully has my belief. No concerns with him. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It happens but as a team you have to deal with it, show character, be resilient and bounce back. We want him to stay and extend his contract.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked if Liverpool&#8217;s six-match winning run had affected his side, Ten Hag said: &#8220;It&#8217;s not about Liverpool, it&#8217;s about us because if you look to the table we have everything in our hands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing changes. We could have made it easier if we had won, but we need three wins in four games. Everything is in our hands.
