DEVASTATING NEWS: Arne Slot confirms horrible news for Liverpool fans before the Man City game! 🔴
Liverpool have triumphed over the reigning kings of Europe at Anfield, and their next challenge is against the champions of England. Many fans are eager to see Trent Alexander-Arnold back in action for the crucial clash.
During his Thursday press conference, Arne Slot was asked about Alexander-Arnold’s fitness ahead of the Manchester City match. The Liverpool manager confidently confirmed: “Yes, he would.”
This news is a significant boost for the Reds as they prepare for what could be a pivotal moment in the title race. A victory over Pep Guardiola’s side would extend Liverpool’s lead over City to 11 points, sending a strong message about their Premier League ambitions.
Alexander-Arnold’s Return Comes at a Key Time
With Conor Bradley sustaining an injury during the match against Real Madrid and seen limping afterward, there’s a possibility the young defender may not be available for Sunday. This puts added importance on Alexander-Arnold’s readiness to start.
After being limited to a post-match shirt swap with Jude Bellingham in midweek, some concerns arose about the vice-captain’s fitness for the City game. Slot’s confirmation will be reassuring for Liverpool fans and a cause for Guardiola to worry as he plans how to counteract one of Liverpool’s most creative players.
A Battle for Places in the Squad
Alexander-Arnold’s return also adds an intriguing dynamic to the squad, especially after Conor Bradley’s standout performance against Real Madrid. The Northern Ireland captain impressed with his energy and defensive contributions, further intensifying the competition for places.
For the academy graduate, Sunday’s showdown represents an opportunity to reclaim his spot and make a significant impact. Fans will be eager to see him bossing the game and providing his trademark attacking creativity in what promises to be a fiercely contested match.
As the stakes rise in the title race, Liverpool’s ability to field their star right-back could be a defining factor in the outcome of this top-of-the-table clash.
