Trent's strong case for defence

REDS ACE HELL-BENTSO ON STOPPING GOALS

- David Anderson

TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD wants to be an attacker's worst nightmare.

Alexander-Arnold is working with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot on his defending and has set himself a list of targets for every game.

The England defender has agreed with Slot that he should call him out in meetings if he makes mistakes and says he is loving playing under the Dutchman.

Alexander-Arnold is proud of his part in Liverpool's four clean sheets in their first five Premier League games, compared to just two in their final 16 matches last season. This gives him as much pleasure as laying on Luis Diaz's second to bring up 100 goal involvements for the Reds.

Alexander-Arnold said: "Yeah, good numbers. I'm capable of many more. The clean sheet was a big one as well.

"We've talked about targets and I said to him [Slot] I'd like to be the defender that no one wants to come across.
