The Reds suffered a damaging blow last weekend as they lost 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace and Alexander-Arnold says that the players have been emotionally affected by the German coach's decision to step down at the end of the season.

Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, he said: "Having the experience of being in a title race will be a massive part of getting over the line, but obviously Arsenal and Manchester City will have that from last season with their title race.

"I think Jurgen Klopp leaving at the end of the season will feed into the title run in. The fear that it gets to May and it's still tight, then it'll feed into how it's going to look and how it could feel up until then."

The full-back continued: "We just need to try and stay composed. The manager never says we're trying to win the league, he doesn't speak about it, but it's more that we're going to get the most out of ourselves, we're going to squeeze every drop of potential there.

"There will be twists and turns no matter what, and I'm sure teams will try and win it, and we'll come close to winning every single game between now and the end of the season, and we just hope we're in the best position at the end of the season."

Alexander-Arnold has made over 300 appearances for the Reds since being given his debut by Klopp back in 2016 and will forever be grateful to the manager.

He said: "Jurgen Klopp has been nothing but incredible. I owe everything to him as a player. I was thinking about this recently and the only thing you can ask for as a young player is an opportunity and what you can hope for at 18/19, is that you've got a manager that's willing to give you a chance, and I was fortunate enough to have that.

"Not only that, he put his arm around me and guided me through it, through the ups and downs, winning and losing games, and taking it game by game, because your first bad game you think you're never going to kick a ball again, but he gives you that reassurance."
