Klavan started his first Premier League game since mid-January at Anfield yesterday as the Reds ran out comfortable 3-1 winners.

The 31-year-old Estonian now believes he should get the nod over Liverpool's other defensive options when they face Burnley next Sunday.

Asked if he had done enough to keep his place in the team next weekend, Klavan replied: "On a personal note, of course.

"But for me when I came here I told everybody straight I will help the team as much as possible.

"When I’m needed, I will be there and play, but it’s [Jurgen Klopp's] decision what’s going to happen now.

"For me, it’s always when I play I give my best and try to make the decisions as difficult as possible."

Liverpool's victory over Arsenal was vital following their torrid form in 2017 so far.

Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum scored for the Reds to help Klopp's side up to third in the Premier League table.

Klavan wants the Reds to build on their good result against the Gunners and make sure they start becoming a more consistent side.

He added: "I think this has been the biggest problem for us this season and looking forward we have to just learn from it and grow with it.

"This is our challenge, we have to take it on and keep on going."
