Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has singled out Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold for praises ahead of the crunchy encounter at the Emirate today (Sunday)
Arteta described the Liverpool right back as a special talent who needs no introduction.
The Gunners will look to reclaim their place at the top of the Premier League when they host Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Arteta’s men have won seven of their first eight league games and will move back above Manchester City if they defeat Liverpool.
The spotlight will be on England right-back Alexander-Arnold, following a turbulent start to the season.
While the 24-year-old has scored domestically and in Europe, pundits have largely criticised his defending.
When asked about Alexander-Arnold ahead of the game, Arteta said: “Well, he is a very special talent.
“What he adds offensively to the team every year is difficult to find in that position.”
However, Arteta is yet to record a win against Liverpool after several meetings since joining the Gunners three season ago.
