Trent Alexander-Arnold makes his feelings clear before facing Manchester United

Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been previewing the Reds' trip to face Manchester United later this weekend. The number 66 is confident that his side can pick up a positive result having failed to beat its rival in three attempts last season.

Asked by Liverpool's official website where the game would be won and lost, Alexander-Arnold outlined what the Reds would need to focus on at Old Trafford. "Execute the game plan that the manager gives to us and also follow what we've been doing so far – which is being a hard team to beat, win our duels, win our battles, win our one-vs-ones, pick up second balls, and then control the game and dominate," he said.

"As well as being ready for a tough, tough fight in a game like this. In games like this, I always think form goes out the window, it's more about who wants to win more. As long as we go there with the mentality and the commitment and ready to fight and want to win more and show that on the pitch then we're confident we can go there and get the three points."

"I think we're full of confidence," he continued. "Obviously big changes happened for us in the summer and then a few of us were late back in. But we're getting to grips with the new style, the new way the manager wants us to play, and transitioning into a new Liverpool really. I think it's going well so far.

"There's a lot we can still improve on, and I'm sure the manager thinks the same and us players equally so. For us, it's about carrying momentum. We have self-belief, we're confident in ourselves and the way that we play. Two really good games and two wins, so we need to keep that going."

Liverpool.com says: If Liverpool plays to its full potential this weekend then it should comfortably get a victory. That was the case last year as well, however, and it didn't pan out as planned. Arne Slot's team has been in full control of matches against Ipswich Town and Brentford but this will be a completely different challenge.
