‘In our minds’… Trent Alexander-Arnold predicts if Manchester City or Arsenal will drop any points

Liverpool climbed above Manchester City in the Premier League with a comfortable win at Fulham table as Pep Guardiola’s side dealt with FA Cup duties on the weekend – another twist in the title race.

It came💖 after a dismal fortnight for Jurgen Klopp’s side in which they suffered a ෴3-0 defeat to Atalanta at Anfield in the Europa League. That was followed by a shock 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.

Liverpool have had their injury issues and that hasn’t helped. Nevertheless, some poor perไformances have affected The Reds. Some rest bite on Thursday, a 1-0 win in Bergamo – but still knocked out by Atalanta.

Liverpool climb into second, behind Arsenal on goal difference

Timothy Castagne equalised for Fulham♓ but Ryan Gravenberch put the Reds 2-1 up and Diogo Jota put the ga♊me beyond doubt. A solid 3-1 away win in London, pushing Liverpool back into second position.

Behind Arsenal, only on goal difference with five league games to play. City of course, a point behind but with six to play. It all rema♛ins in the balance, ahead of some🐟 tasty midweek fixtures in the Premier League.

Trent Alexander-Arnold says Liverpool need to win all five

Arsenal face an in-form Chelsea, the small contest of a Merseyside derby and Man City have to go away to Brighton – with Arsenal and Liver🥃pool playing first. The chance for 🅠Arsenal and Liverpool to pull away.

Plenty to play for. Having scored a stunner during the game, Alexander-Arnold was asked after the match if he felt Arsenal or Man City would drop any more points in the race to wi💟n the League title, .

“In our minds, they won’t drop points. We need to be in a position similar to la🌄st week. Kicked ourselves. If anyone drops points, we need to be in the best position we can. Five out of five wins is the aim for🌞 us.”
