Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says the players know how important Monday night's clash with Leicester City.

The Reds need a win to stay in touch with the top four.

“We know the context of the game, we know the situation we are in and we know the situation they are in," Alexander-Arnold said. “It's probably the biggest game of the season for them, it's now or never, it's a must-win if we are honest, and we understand that.

“They've got real quality and they show that, it's just the league position they are in. Anyone can beat anyone in this league, so we have to be ready for that.

"It feels like we're getting there as a team now. We've had glimpses of it over the course of the season but haven't been able to back it up, we've had big results and then not been able to follow it up and then disappointing results have followed that.

"Whereas right now we're able to back them up and we've just got that belief – we are just enjoying our football again.

“I think as players you like to be underestimated, you like to be the underdog and having that mentality and just want to prove people wrong.

"People say things about us all the time, as a team, as individuals, and it's on us to go out there and prove them wrong and to prove how good we are as a team and individuals, and I think the last month has been a great way to do that for us."
