Alexander-Arnold Set for Anfield Return as Liverpool Host Real Madrid in Champions League

Slot pledges a warm personal reception for his former vice-captain despite Liverpool's injury absences.

Overview

  • Kick-off is Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. BST at Anfield, with live coverage in the UK on Amazon Prime Video.
  • Real Madrid have included Trent Alexander-Arnold in their travelling squad, though reports indicate he is unlikely to start after nearly seven weeks out with a hamstring issue.
  • Alexander-Arnold told Prime Video he would not celebrate if he scored and said his affection for Liverpool remains regardless of the reception.
  • Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he will welcome Alexander-Arnold but has “no clue” how fans will react; he confirmed Alisson, Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong are unavailable.
  • Real arrive in excellent form under Xabi Alonso after 13 wins in 14 matches, while Liverpool halted a poor domestic run with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa as Conor Bradley is expected to start at right-back.
