Alexander-Arnold on “massive” season for Liverpool

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes this season for Liverpool is “massive” as the Reds push Manchester City for the title.

The 20-year-old has established himself as Jurgen Klopp’s first-choice right-back this season, putting in a string of increasingly-impressive performances across all competitions.

But after having watched Liverpool fall just short of glory when he was 15, the young full-back is taking nothing for granted this time round.

“It’s massive,” he said. “Obviously I was a fan during the 13-14 season when we came so close, so it’s nice to be involved in a title race.

“You don’t get to say that many times in your career.

“It’s trying to embrace it, soak it all up and hopefully we’ll be successful at the end of the season.”

On Man City, he added: “I’m not even sure when their game in hand is or what the situation with the table is.

“It’s important for us to just focus on ourselves. It’s a bit cliched, but that’s the main thing for us.

“Just try and be the best that we can be, and hopefully at the end of the season we’ll be coming away with some silverware.

“It all comes from the manager. Everything we do comes from the manager.

“We try and go out there and play in the way he wants us to play, go and do the things that he wants us to do, so it’s important for us to think the way he wants us to think as well.

“At the business end of the season, three points, especially on days like that when you get tested, concede a goal, which is never good, to be able to bounce back and show our character was good for us.

“These are the ones that maybe go unnoticed during the season, but they’re vitally important for us.

“And I think we’ll probably look back at the end of the season and think that, whatever the outcome may be, this game was important for us.”
