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

Injuries in Madrid's defense elevate his chance to start.

Overview

  • Liverpool host Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday, November 4, in the fourth round of the Champions League league stage.
  • Forbes projects Trent Alexander-Arnold to start at right-back after returning to fitness, though his selection remains an expectation rather than a confirmed decision.
  • Real Madrid are without Dani Carvajal and Antonio Rüdiger until at least the end of the month, David Alaba is a doubt, and Andriy Lunin returns from suspension.
  • Football Insider reports Madrid are not seeking to move Alexander-Arnold on and anticipate more opportunities for him following Carvajal’s knee surgery.
  • Alexander-Arnold says he still loves Liverpool and will not celebrate if he scores on his first Anfield appearance since a contentious £10m summer transfer, while Madrid have won seven of the last 11 meetings between the clubs.
