Liverpool must maintain the mentality that has made them Premier League leaders when they take on Manchester United, believes Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds’ diligence throughout the season built up a 14-point advantage at the top ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, which see United visit Anfield on Sunday.
As a local lad, Alexander-Arnold understands the strength of feeling that underpins the rivalry between the clubs and is relishing the showdown with United.
But the right-back also feels Liverpool’s best route to victory is to ensure the significance of the occasion does not influence their performance.
“For the fans, it means a lot to beat them,” he told Sky Sports.
