Liverpool have one major injury concern as plans start for title showdown

BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 1: Liverpool Manager Arne Slot during the Premier League match between AFC Bournemouth and Liverpool FC at Vitality Stadium on February 1, 2025 in Bournemouth, England.

Arne Slot: It’s ridiculous to question Trent Alexander-Arnold’s commitment to Liverpool

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 26:Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold looks on during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Newcastle United FC at Anfield on February 26, 2025 in Liverpool, England. The Reds are now tantalisingly close to reasserting their dominance over English football thanks to Alexander-Arnold's winner against Leicester on Sunday. Essentially, with Arsenal beating Ipswich Town earlier in the day, this was an exercise in marking time for Liverpool. The Premier League trophy will be returning to Anfield for the first time since 2020. The only question is ‘when’ not ‘if’. For Leicester City, however, the waiting is over. Only a year after achieving promotion back to the top-flight and less than a decade after breaking the stranglehold Manchester, Chelsea an...
