Liverpool's right back Trent Alexander-Arnold says they aren't feeling a pressure, that could affect them during title race with Manchester City.
Merseyside club failed to beat Everton last weekend and lost first place in EPL table. Currently, Reds are one point below Pep Guardiola's side. Alexander-Arnold says 'It is important right now to stay focused'.
“There is not so much a nervous tension, just eagerness to get it going,” he told BBC (via

“Not until four or five games left will we start to look forward a little. It is important right now to stay focused.
“At times you can feel the supporters' expectations. We know Liverpool fans are so passionate. We can hopefully give them performances that they can go home and talk about the next day.
“We know how hard it is to win a league title. You have to be consistent across a full season. Quite a few of the lads have never been in this position before, including myself. It is important for us to enjoy it, learn from it and just see how it goes.” added young defender.
“We want to do him proud.
“He understands I am still young and I am not used to playing every game in a season. He understands my body, how much I can play and when he needs to rotate me.
“At the moment he sees me as a full-back and I am happy there. When I was growing up Ashley Cole came in and showed that you don't just have to be a defender. You can go forward and attack. He showed what full-backs can be.
“In the last two years especially we have brought a lot of joy to the fans. Last season it was more ruthless, heavy metal football. We were beating teams 4-0 or 5-0 then the next week drawing 0-0.
“Now if two games are 1-0 then that's as good if not better for us as we get six points not four.”
20-year-old Liverpool star has also admitted he wants to be a legend for his club and country and win every possible trophy during his career: “The dream is to win everything possible for my club and country,”
“I want to be a legend for Liverpool and England. Hopefully one day I can be captain for them both.”
Liverpool will face Burnley this weekend.
