Trent Alexander-Arnold admits Jurgen Klopp’s emotional farewell tour WILL have an impact on the title race… but reveals the Liverpool manager NEVER speaks about winning the Premier League

Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted that Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure from Liverpool will have an impact on the title race.

Since the German announced in January that he would be leaving Anfield at the end of the season, the Reds’ focus has been on guaranteeing a fairytale final for the 56-year-old.

With six games to go, Liverpool are two points behind Manchester City and level on points with Arsenal – albeit with a lesser goal difference – after losing at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The trio have all been involved in exciting title races over the past five seasons, with City coming out on top each time.

Pep Guardiola’s men finished on 98 in 2019 as they edged Liverpool by one point and repeated the feat three years later, finishing on 93 points to their rivals’ 92.

Last season City won the league last season by 89 points, finishing five times ahead of Arsenal, despite the Gunners sitting at the top of the table for six months.

And Alexander-Arnold admitted Klopp’s emotional farewell tour could play a big role in the build-up.

“Having the experience of being in a title race will be a big part of getting over the line, but obviously Arsenal and Manchester City will have that from last season with their title race,” he said on the latest episode of The Overlap. is sponsored by Sky bet,

‘I think Jurgen Klopp’s departure at the end of the season will contribute to the title challenge.

“The fear that May will come and it will still be tight will determine what it will look like and what it might feel like until then.”

Liverpool barely skipped a beat after Klopp’s shock announcement of his decision to step down at the end of the season and at one point looked on course for an unprecedented quadruple.

Manchester United made the effort by eliminating their arch-rivals in an epic FA Cup quarter-final last month and holding them to a Premier League draw a week ago.

And on Sunday, Palace became the second team in three days to win at Anfield and hold Liverpool scoreless after Atalanta almost ended Liverpool’s Europa League dreams by beating them 3–0.

While City are in the box, Alexander-Arnold believes there will be more twists and turns between now and May 14. He has revealed that Klopp has deliberately avoided any title talk.

“We just have to try to stay calm,” he said.

‘The manager never says we’re trying to win the league, he doesn’t talk 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 out of there.

“There will be twists and turns either way, and I’m sure teams will try to win it, and we’ll come close to winning every game between now and the end of the season, and we just hope that we will do that too. in the best position at the end of the season.’
