Trent Alexander-Arnold believes Liverpool have nearly gifted Man City the title, but Jurgen Klopp embraces underdog role

Liverpool and Arsenal’s weekend defeats have put Manchester City in pole position to win the Premier League title, according to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool defender expressed his concerns to Sky Sports, stating that giving City a clear advantage at this stage of the season is like handing them the trophy.

City’s recent form, with 11 wins out of 14 games since December, has made them a formidable force in the title race. Alexander-Arnold emphasized the importance of not making mistakes when competing with City, as they are known for capitalizing on any slip-ups.

Despite the setbacks, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp remains optimistic and believes that being the “hunters” in the title race could work in their favor. Klopp acknowledged City’s strength but also highlighted the unpredictable nature of the Premier League, where anything can happen.

The defeat of Arsenal, who were previously ahead of City in the title race, was seen as a missed opportunity to maintain the pressure on the league leaders. Alexander-Arnold suggested that the excitement of potentially moving ahead of their rivals may have affected Arsenal’s performance.

Klopp reflected on Liverpool’s journey this season, acknowledging the progress they have made from finishing outside the Champions League spots last season. Despite the challenges, Klopp remains focused on finishing the season positively and is determined to give his best for the remaining games.

As the title race heats up, Liverpool’s clash with Fulham will be crucial in their pursuit of City. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League, providing fans with an exciting showdown between the top teams in the league.
