Trent Alexander-Arnold insists he will be ready to face Swansea City at Anfield tomorrow - if Nathaniel Clyne fails to recover from injury.

The 18-year-old right-back followed up an accomplished full Premier League debut at Old Trafford with another eye-catching display in the midweek FA Cup win at Plymouth.

Clyne is battling to overcome an abdominal muscle problem but if the England international doesn’t prove his fitness, Alexander-Arnold will make a third senior start inside six days.

“I think everyone’s focused on getting the three points, but we know it’s not going to be easy,” he told Liverpoolfc.com.

“They’re going to come and try to play football and that’s what we’ve got to try to be ready for.

“There are world-class players in the Premier League and week in, week out you’re going to be tested in different ways.

“Whether it’s in the air or people going at you one-v-one, you’re always going to be tested. That’s what I’ve got to be ready for if I’m chosen to play again.

“With the atmosphere and the style of play we have, it’s always going to be a struggle for any team coming to Anfield.

“The harder that we can make it for them with the atmosphere, the way we play, and the energy we can bring to the games, the better because there’s less chance of them taking points from us.”

Coutinho is set to make his first Premier League start since November and Alexander-Arnold admits the Brazilian’s recent return to action has given everyone a lift.

“He’s an unbelievable player, the things he can do with the ball,” he added.

“It gives everyone a bit more confidence when he’s on the pitch, knowing that he can make things happen against the run of play.

“That’s what happened against Manchester United, we were pinned back but as soon as he came on he made an impact and it made the game a bit easier knowing he was an outlet for us.”
