Image
Trent Alexander-Arnold ruled out of Manchester City game Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out of Sunday’s match against Manchester City. The right-back missed Liverpool’s 5-1 win over FC Porto in midweek due to a muscle issue and Jürgen Klopp has now confirmed that he will not be available to face Pep Guardiola’s side. Klopp expects Alexander-Arnold to return after the international break along with Thiago Alcantara, who is recovering from a calf injury. “No,” the boss told Liverpoolfc.com on Thursday, when asked if he had an update on Alexander-Arnold and Thiago’s fitness. “No ‘news’ means they are doing well but they won’t have enough time for being back against City, but I expect them both to be back after the international break. “But we have a good team so we still have solutions and we have to use them and yeah, after the international break the boys will be back I think.” Source:liverpoolfc.com

FPL Wildcard targets: Trent Alexander-Arnold

Image
The Scout says Liverpool right-back could break the record for most FPL points by a defender in a single season For managers who are considering playing their second Wildcard in  Fantasy Premier League , The Scout suggests targets to consider. Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) £7.7m As the most attack-minded player in the league’s most reliable defence, the  Liverpool  right-back offers multiple routes to FPL returns. Alexander-Arnold has scored two goals and supplied 12 assists in his 25 Gameweek appearances this season. That goal involvement has already matched his total from the last campaign, when he scored once and supplied 13 assists. Having also played a part in 10 clean sheets, Alexander-Arnold is the top-scoring defender in FPL on 146 points. With an average of 5.8 points per match (ppm) he could go on to post the highest ever total for a defender in a single season of FPL. His team-mate  Andrew Robertson  (£7.0m) set the re...

Trent Alexander-Arnold:We are ready to finalize the League 7 weeks before it ends at least

Image
Jürgen Klopp 's passionate leadership has had an empowering effect on Liverpool's players, according to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The reigning world and European champions opened up a 22-point lead at the Premier League summit before their current winter break and, in their absence, a youthful side led by U23s boss Neil Critchley stepped up to defeat Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday and continue the club’s progress in the FA Cup. Under Klopp’s guidance, the Reds have made a virtue of refusing to give in, repeatedly producing critical interventions at vital moments to aid their success in recent seasons – and it’s no accident, explained Alexander-Arnold. Describing the manager’s influence in an interview with  the official matchday programme , the right-back said: “It’s massive. “He gives us all a lot of freedom so it’s very much the case that the players play to their strengths and are able to do that in different ways in the systems that we play. I think it’s import...

Image
Trent Alexander-Arnold has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the last 18 months and picked up three trophies in 2019 - now the Liverpool and England star wants more Trent Alexander-Arnold  has a goal for 2020 – to repeat the form of 2019. Liverpool's  scintillating record over the past 12 months has seen them lift the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup and only narrowly miss out on the Premier League title. Alexander-Arnold believes more silverware will follow if they maintain a record that has seen them average the most points per game in their history and open up a commanding lead at the top of the table.

But Alexander-Arnold claims  Liverpool  still have much work to do and says their focus is on maintaining their great form. “We have to keep up the momentum and try to replicate 2019 because, if we do t...

The Reds collected three pieces of silverware in the final six months of last year - the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup - and remain in contention to lift a further trio of prizes before this season is over. A relentless and near-flawless first half of the campaign has earned Jürgen Klopp ’s side a healthy lead at the top of the Premier League, while a last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid awaits in Europe. Sunday’s 1-0 Merseyside derby victory  over Everton also booked Liverpool’s place in round four of the FA Cup, and Alexander-Arnold has outlined his desire to maintain, or surpass, the success of 2019 this year. Keeping up the momentum we’ve got and trying to replicate 2019 as much as possible because, if we do that, I think more trophies will come,” the right-back told LFC’s  Official Matchday Programme  regarding his goals fo...
