09:48 Slot on team news

“Dom [Dominik Szoboszlai] trained with the under-21s yesterday. Jarell [Quansah] like I said, he was a bit ill last week, as a result of that I had to take him off the game but I am expecting him to be available for tomorrow.

“Yes, we know we can use these players in every single game and also in the one that we have on Saturday “

09:46 Slot defends Alexander-Arnold

Arne Slot has been speaking ahead of Liverpool’s FA Cup clash with Accrington Stanley and has backed Trent Alexander-Arnold following recent criticism.

“I do see a certain pattern in the goals we concede, but I don’t see the pattern if it is about Trent. Not at all.

“Trent has had one difficult game for us [in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Anfield] and maybe a few that were OK to good.

“Mainly he has had great games when he played for us this season.

“I know there is a lot of focus on him at the moment, but I would also like to highlight the focus on how well he did when he came on in the last half hour [against Tottenham on Wednesday] and how our fans reacted to him, that is what pleased me even more during that game.”
