Alexis Mac Allister has revealed a comment from Mohamed Salah convinced him to ditch his tracksuit bottoms for shorts.
The midfielder has starred since arriving at Anfield from Brighton in the summer transfer window
Mac Allister's title tilt comes a year after he also played a key role in Argentina's World Cup win.
The generally warmer climate of his home country did not prepare him for the chill of an English winter
the 25-year-old opted to ditch the tracksuit in favour of shorts after a conversation with Salah.

"When I was in Brighton, I used to wear trousers. Then I cam here and I remember against Sheffield [United] we went out to the warm up,"
"I was wearing a hat and trousers and Mo Salah told me 'What are you doing? Why are you wearing that?' So since that day, I never wore trousers... Only because of Mo."
Mac Allister has made 34 appearances in all competitions, starting the Carabao Cup final, which Liverpool won.
Mac Allister is confident that Liverpool will end the season lifting at least one more trophy.
Mac Allister added
"Maybe this year we can think about the Premier League, Europa League.
"I think when you want something, you have to work for it – and this group is very good at that. I think this is a group of winners,"
"I came to a club that wants to keep winning and keep competing.
"The most important thing, I think, is that they are good people as well. I think this team wants to go game by game, step by step. But we know that we have very good chances of getting trophies.
"If you ask me, of course the idea is to win everything we can. But for that, we have to keep working and keep improving.
"Do we want to win? Yes, everything. But we have to focus on [a] daily basis, do our best, keep improving and then at the end we will see what we achieve."
