Liverpool only need to focus on one team in the Premier League title race, and it’s not Arsenal.

The focus is no longer on Arsenal, Manchester City, or anyone else in the title race—it’s about ourselves. When people ask me, “Who are you worried about?” I tell them I’m worried about Liverpool.

Regardless of any bad run we go through, our concern shouldn’t be with Arsenal; it should be with ourselves. We just need to keep pushing forward, continue what we’re doing, and aim to improve, taking each game as it comes.

If we win our game in hand and manage to beat Arsenal at home, that could go a long way in ensuring we’re in the race until the end of the season.

There are big, important games ahead. We know this. We want to reach another final, especially against Tottenham. We love going to Wembley; it’s like our second home.

In fact, we’ve probably visited Wembley more than any other club over the years. Now, we need to turn around the 1-0 deficit. It will be interesting to see which team Arne selects; that’s the most intriguing part.

I believe he’ll field a strong team to win the match before rotating for the Plymouth game. I’m excited for Thursday; it should be a great game, under the lights and in front of our fans.

Chiesa can make the difference
Federico Chiesa was fantastic against PSV; we’re talking about a top-class player. We’re handling him with care to ensure his fitness, especially considering his past injuries.

We’re treating him as a special case because everyone knows his potential and what he can bring to the club. In the run-in, he can offer us something different. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he brings a new dynamic to our team.

You can see the quality he possesses. I recall watching him play for Italy. He’s a quality player who’s been through a lot in the last couple of years.

Let’s hope that being cautious with him pays off, and he gets more playing time. If that happens, he’ll only improve. He’s a top-tier player.

Trent troubles
Losing any player to injury is never ideal. Trent had a tough time; I’m not sure what happened with him.

At times on Saturday, we managed defensively, but it was hard to watch him go off injured. Let’s hope it’s not too serious.

But it is what it is for him this season—there’s a lot going on in his mind. It does affect a player. He wasn’t himself against Manchester United last month.

It’s only been a few games, and people are already talking, but there’s a lot happening in his head.

It’s between him and the manager now. He needs to figure it out because it’s not easy. He’s constantly in the news, and that does take its toll. He’s only human.
