Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister admits manager Jurgen Klopp resignation offers extra motivation this season.
Mac Allister was speaking ahead of Sunday's blockbuster against Liverpool.
"The manager saying he is leaving has given us a greater incentive, yes," he said. "I don't know if that was his idea when he made the announcement, but it's definitely become an incentive.
"We all know what Jurgen means to this club and the fans, and we want the best for him.
"We really understand and respect his decision and now we want to do out best to give him a very good season before he leaves."
