Stats: Trent Alexander-Arnold closes in on Liverpool century
Trent Alexander-Arnold could bring up a century of senior outings for Liverpool at Aston Villa this afternoon.
The 21-year-old right-back made his 99th appearance for the Reds last weekend in the 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Should he feature at Villa Park today, the Academy graduate would be the fourth-youngest player in the club's history to achieve the feat at an age of 21 years and 26 days.
