Trent Alexander-Arnold is one player who has been in serious form for Liverpool recently.It was his superb assist for Mohamed Salah’s equalizer after a play from Gabriel Magalhez, with Micah Richards describing the brooding defender as “absolutely outstanding” as he spoke on Match of the Day.
No midfielder can pass the ball better than the 25-year-old. That’s why the Anfield Academy product is so beloved by Liverpool fans that Micah Richards even presented him with flowers. “Trent Alexander-Arnold was exceptional, especially with his passing.“ it’s about the space he created for himself to make that transition. He knows when to cross and the weight of his passes is great for attack. I don’t know any defender who can organize such an attack. One of the best I’ve seen in the Premier League.”57 assists in the Premier League is unbelievable. It’s truly amazing to see how modern defenders have evolved. “Working with Salah was really amazing,” he said.

They expanded their network last season and experienced explosive growth in the last six weeks of the campaign. Their problem now is that they are under pressure and teams are chasing them. Arsenal have yet to prove they can do that, but Liverpool have been there and done it. So this title race will be very interesting with Manchester City back in action after the Club World Cup.
