The Premier League leaders, four points ahead of Manchester City, are not in action this coming weekend because they were knocked out of the FA Cup.

‘Exceptional achievement from a world-class player,’ said Jurgen Klopp.

“Crystal Palace traditionally do well against Liverpool, and with the physicality, it was clear it would be like the first half was.”

There was still time for a seventh goal in stoppage time, but Liverpool held on to take another step towards the title.

Alexander-Arnold's improved deal is reported to tie him to Liverpool until 2024.

Jurgen Klopp is yet to win a trophy since taking charge at Liverpool, but there are plenty of signs he is on the verge of ending that drought this term.

Liverpool are on a 31-game unbeaten league home run, and victory on Saturday will send Jurgen Klopp’s side seven points clear of Manchester City.

Despite their injury concerns, Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League leaders still have the best defensive record.

“We have to use the time and really be, week-in and week-out, in the best shape we can be.”

Jurgen Klopp, whose team are also out of the League Cup, conceded that he does prefer to have the opportunity to train more with single game-weeks.

But even their firepower failed to spark a fightback, and Klopp’s team selection will now be seriously questioned.

Jurgen Klopp set the Liverpool bounceback in motion within 48 hours of their first Premier League defeat of the season at Manchester City.

Jordon Henderson insists Liverpool’s first defeat of the season won’t lead to a collapse.

Fernandinho has warned Liverpool that Manchester City are ready to eat up ground in the title race as pressure mounts on the leaders.

He made 27 appearances for Liverpool in his first season, but has not featured for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the current campaign.

“The pressure was a little bit more on to us. We are happy with that, it is good. We are used to that kind of pressure.”
