Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a revelation for Liverpool as an inverted full-back in recent weeks, with such a positional tweak, which he sees him step into a central midfield role when the Reds are on the ball, coinciding with Jurgen Klopp’s side late surge for an unlikely top four finish.

Perhaps, in their re-positioned right-back, the solution to their midfield woes was right under their noses all along.
