Jurgen Klopp started young defender Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right. Jurgen Klopp has been giving him chances this season and results are beginning to come. He had an excellent game on Wednesday against Maribor and was Liverpool's key attacking avenue when Maribor crowded Liverpool's penalty area in the first half.

He made some brilliant crosses in the first half, but Salah and Firmino failed to benefit from it. He was lively with his runs and tested Maribor's defence throughout the game as they struggled to deal with his crosses.

It was his cross that opened the deadlock in the second half. Salah finally got to it and slotted it past the goalkeeper to give Liverpool the lead. He showed a great deal of maturity for an 18-year-old and proving to be a huge asset to Jurgen Klopp.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's game stats:

Passes (PA%) - 97 (92.80)
