Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold admits they can sense Manchester City gaining momentum.

The Reds currently sit top of the table, though City are now on a winning streak.

Alexander-Arnold told CNN: "Every game is almost like a final now because a certain other team [Manchester City] look like they are clicking into gear, which means it is going to go down to the wire as usual. It means every game is a must-win, simple as that. That's the way you want it. You want to get pushed, you want to push yourself as far and as hard as you can. Even a draw feels like a loss, no matter the context of it."

Alexander-Arnold added: "Carabao Cup, there's a 50/50 chance. The cup competitions speak for themselves because it is knockout football. I would back ourselves against any team in the world over two legs. European football at Anfield, we back ourselves to be able to beat any team in Europe and the world.

"For the FA Cup, I'd back ourselves to be able to beat any team. What I believe we are capable of doing is beating any team that's in front of us. That's the mentality we need to have. The league is going to come down to consistency and results. It will be nice to say we are going to win every game between now and the end of the season, but there's a good chance that's not going to happen. We need to put a good run together, which we need we are capable of doing and we also need to keep our mentality right because I'm sure the pressure will be right behind us."
