Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says today's clash with Manchester United is all about the result.

The Reds will host United today as overwhelming favourites.

“It is probably the biggest game of the season, home or away," the vice-captain told Premier League Productions.

“It's different from any other fixture that we have. Of course we potentially have different ambitions and different close rivals, but that rivalry between the fans will always remain, no matter where the teams are in the league, no matter what time of the season.

“It's special. It's Anfield! The fans get up for it, the players too.

“The occasion is massive, everyone knows how big it is. It feels different from every other game. It's probably the one that gets the most viewers over the course of the season, people really tune in to it. It's a huge global game."

On the motivation going into the game, Alexander-Arnold also said: “Just win! That's the main thing. It's the mentality I've got going in to every game, to be honest.

“People will talk about their form, our form, results and what's going on within the clubs, potentially make excuses and things like that, but for us as players it's still the same game.

“Just because we're top of the league and they're not, and they're potentially going through a bad run of form or whatever, it's not like we go into the game 1-0 up. It's still 0-0, 11v11, and it's a battle.

“Form goes out the window in these kind of games, it's [about] who wants it more, who is willing to execute the game plan better and who wants to go and get the three points."
