Accrington Stanley FC: There has been a lot of criticism surrounding Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold after his performance during the side’s 2-2 draw against Manchester United. Head coach Arne Slot has backed his player amidst criticism and claimed Trent has had great games for the side.

"I do see a certain pattern in the goals we concede, but I don't see the pattern if it is about Trent. Not at all. Trent has had one difficult game for us (in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Anfield) and maybe a few that were OK to good. Mainly he has had great games when he played for us this season.

"I know there is a lot of focus on him at the moment, but I would also like to highlight the focus on how well he did when he came on in the last half hour (against Tottenham on Wednesday) and how our fans reacted to him, that is what pleased me even more during that game,” said Slot in a press conference.
