Trent Alexander-Arnold was watching from the stands as a teenage fan the last time Liverpool were this far embroiled in a Premier League title race.

The Reds fell short back in 2013-14 after a late-season collapse, where the then 15-year-old right-back was heartbroken as Manchester City stole the title.

He is much more involved this time around, though, as a fully fledged member of the Liverpool team that currently top the pile at the last international break of the season.
