Liverpool are ready for the Arsenal challenge- Trent Alex-Arnold

Reds take on Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday night under the lights.

Jürgen Klopp’s side head into their third Premier League match of the campaign previously winning both the fixtures against Norwich and Southampton. Liverpool started the season on a bright note as they battled out for the FA Community Shield only to miss out on penalties. Whereas, they won the UEFA Super Cup beating domestic rivals Chelsea on penalties.

Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander Arnold reflected upon  Southampton game by speaking with Liverpoolfc.com, “I think there’s different types of games: there’s wanting to perform well in some games and some games it’s purely about just getting the win, and I think Southampton was one of them when we needed to win the game.”

He further added, “It was a tough place to go to, especially after the week that we had with all the travelling and obviously playing the extra-time and pens. It was tough for us but we got through that so we’re showing once again this season that we’re mentally resilient and we can win different types of football games. “

“I think Saturday’s going to be a different kind of test to the one we faced last week so we’re preparing for that. We did well against them last year, especially at home, and we’ll be looking to do the same kind of thing.” The Liverpool FC academy graduate had his say ahead of the game against Arsenal

Liverpool will have a full week to prepare ahead of their big game against the North London side and the youngster expressed his pleasure by saying, “I think we can go into more detail on the opposition and find out what we want to do and the game plan, it gives us more time to train that.”

He went on and added, “It helps having the full week [and] I think for us it’s important to get used to both sides of the game - having not much time to prepare and having a full week. We need to be ready for all of them situations throughout the season and the lads have really adapted well.”

The England International explained the difficulties playing 3 games a week early on in the season, he said, “So early on, playing three games in a week is tough physically and mentally but we’ve done well. Last week was positive, we won all of our games and hopefully we’ll be able to carry that on Saturday.”

He continued, ““The manager gave us a day off [after Southampton] and that always helps the legs, to have that bit more time to recover and get ready for the next game. So yeah, all the lads are ready: physically we’re ready, I think mentally we’re getting there as well now we’re near the end of the week so for us it’s all about preparing properly now and getting ready.”

Arsenal and Liverpool are two of the most attacking team in the Premier League, when asked about the challenges against the attack-minded the Liverpool #66 quipped, “I think over the last few seasons, especially at Anfield, we’ve always had high-scoring games. That’s the way both teams play, in an attacking-style of football, so I’m sure both teams will want to win the game and it’ll be tough for both sides.”
