Speaking on Match of the Day, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy said he thinks Liverpool are now out of the title race.

And their chances have plummeted with Opta., external Before Wednesday's derby, Liverpool were second favourites to win the Premier League at 13.2%.

They're now at 2.7% - Manchester City's chances have increased from 56% to 62.2%, and Arsenal's from 30.8% to 35.1%.

Liverpool winning the title perhaps means more to Trent Alexander-Arnold than most of his team-mates, given he's Liverpool born-and-bred.

His reaction after coming off last night spoke volumes, looking to the sky as he sat down on the substitute's bench, then pulling his shirt over his face.

What do you think? Are the Reds' hopes of saying farewell to Jurgen Klopp by securing a second Premier League title now over?

Hit thumbs up for yes, down for no. You can also let us know your thoughts via the usual channels above.

Speaking on the latest episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, former Nottingham Forest and Republic of Ireland winger Andy Reid is unconvinced Jurgen Klopp's impending exit is to blame for Liverpool losing ground in the title race.

He said: "It would be easy to point the finger at Klopp's departure, but I am not sure it has had much of an impact.

"I am just still surprised by the timing of it because they are building a core team with a great base of players. It will be interesting to see who takes it on and what they will do.

"Historically when big players have left it is really difficult for clubs to pull themselves back."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said his side were "just not good enough" in their Merseyside derby defeat at Goodison Park.

Here's more from ex-Everton striker Wayne Rooney, speaking on Sky Sports about Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp announcing in January that he would be leaving at the end of the season: "Players will look at that and see that as their way of getting out as well. They'll be speaking to other clubs, we know that happens.

"It might have got leaked, he might have had those discussions with Liverpool and someone got hold of it (the story), so he had to announce it. I'm not saying it's his fault.

"It's just the timing that it came out. I think that will have definitely had an affect on some of those players."

Speaking on Sky Sports, former Everton striker Wayne Rooney said: "Everton went through a difficult period, for a couple of months really, where they didn't get results. They had the points deduction and the fans were getting frustrated.

"But the fans here, all they want to see is hard work, dedication and [players] playing for the shirt. You do that, they'll accept it, [even if] sometimes you lose the game. They showed that tonight, and they've got some really good players. This will give them a lot of belief moving forward and I think Sean Dyche has done a fantastic job because I know first hand it's not easy when you get a points deduction.

"He's managed those players and the club, and got them through the other side. Hopefully over the next two or three years we'll start to see some stability."

Manager Sean Dyche described Everton's long-awaited derby win over Merseyside rivals Liverpool as "a game for the people".

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe says his side are in danger of letting their season "peter out" after losing at Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner praised the performance of forwards Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew after they helped the Eagles to a third straight win on Wednesday.

A special mention on the page for Oliver Arblaster, who captained Sheffield United last night at Old Trafford at the age of (gulp) TWENTY., external

Arblaster, who has spent time on loan at Bradford and Port Vale, was recalled by boss Chris Wilder in December and, once he had recovered from injury, made his debut as a substitute in the Blades' 6–0 home defeat to Arsenal in March.

The midfielder made his first Premier League start five days later in a 2–2 draw at Bournemouth, and he was also named as the club's Player of the Month for March.

This table doesn't make grim reading for Liverpool fans. After Wednesday's derby defeat, manager Jurgen Klopp bemoaned the number of chances his forwards have missed in recent games.

While the Premier League's joint-top scorer Erling Haaland has missed more big chances than Darwin Nunez, he's scored almost twice more than Liverpool's Uruguayan striker has.

Luis Diaz has missed more than he's scored and although Mohamed Salah's conversion rate is better, he's missed one more than his Colombian team-mate.

So how much are missed chances to blame for the Reds' faltering title challenge?

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher speaking to Sky Sports about what the team should do in Jurgen Klopp's last few games as Reds boss: "You just run for this man, in these last four games. No-one will say the title's gone, but we all know the teams they're competing against.

"This guy, and what he's done for so many careers in that squad, you run like your life depends on it. That's what you've got to do, give this man a send-off.

"Whatever happens, his legacy's there. He's an absolute legend, he's loved by every Liverpool supporter. The players there might think the title's gone - they won't say that to each other - but just run your heart out, not just for the club but for the manager, between now and the end of the season."

Don't worry, this isn't a manager announcement. There are no fresh updates on Arne Slot and his potential move to Liverpool and the Premier League.

After the Merseyside derby on Wednesday, Reds captain Virgil van Dijk was asked about the Feyenoord boss and whether he would be a good fit for the club.

"I find it hard to answer of course, but I think Arne Slot is perhaps one of the better Dutch coaches at this moment, Van Dijk told ViaPlay., external

"And I think the way of playing and the philosophy he has, that he could be a Liverpool coach. Only I think what of course I read and hear is that it's still far from being completed.

"We shall see..."

Boss Andoni Iraola said Bournemouth will look to appeal against the red card shown to Milos Kerkez against Wolves, after the Cherries still managed to hold on for a 1-0 win to climb into the top half of the Premier League table.

While Wolves don't have to look over their shoulder at the relegation scrap going on behind them, Gary O'Neil's side are nevertheless in a bad run of form after slumping to a fourth successive home defeat in all competitions.

Injury-hit Wolves are now six games without victory in the league, losing four during that sequence.

O'Neil said Wolves' display in their 1-0 loss to his former club Bournemouth was "the worst performance of the season so far".
