Trent Alexander-Arnold: I owe everything to Jurgen Klopp

Trent Alexander-Arnold says he owes everything to Jurgen Klopp and believes the Liverpool manager's impending departure could feed into the title race drama.

Reigning champions Manchester City sit top of the Premier League pile with six matches remaining after second-placed Arsenal and the third-spotted Reds suffered shock defeats on Sunday.

Liverpool's 1-0 home loss to Crystal Palace compounded Thursday's 3-0 Europa League quarter-final defeat at the hands of Atalanta in what could prove Klopp's final European night at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold made his return from two months out with a knee injury in the Eagles encounter and expects more "twists and turns" as the popular German's final season in charge comes to an end.

"I think experience is a massive part of it," the Liverpool academy product told The Overlap podcast.

"Obviously the other two teams will have experience from last season. They had their own title race within themselves."

Asked if Klopp leaving and the emotion around gives Liverpool an edge in the run-in, Alexander-Arnold said: "I think he will feed into that, the further it goes.

"Let's say we get into May, the start of May, and it's still that tight, then he'll start to feed into how it's going to look, how it could feel. Up until then, we just need to try and stay (composed).

"He never says, 'We're trying to win the league, we're going to win the league'.

"He doesn't really speak about it. It's more, 'We're going to get the most out of ourselves, we're going to squeeze every drop of potential'.

"There will be twists and turns, no matter what."

Liverpool are hoping for an almighty change in fortunes at Atalanta on Thursday, when the second leg could see Alexander-Arnold make his first start since
