Trent Alexander-Arnold believes Liverpool squad can win the treble this season

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes Liverpool have a squad capable of winning the treble this season.

The signing of Luis Diaz and the return from injury of Harvey Elliott has given Jurgen Klopp more options in an attacking areas, with both Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota proving as prolific as ever.

After an injury crisis wrecked their hopes of lifting silverware last season, Liverpool could yet win all available cup competitions available to them this time around with the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea coming up later this month.

While hopes are somewhat distant in a Premier League context, Klopp’s side have a game in hand on leaders Manchester City and are still to play them at the Etihad Stadium, offering at least some of reversing the nine-point gap.

Such is their strength this season, Alexander-Arnold is confident of lifting more trophies with a steam who have already won the Premier League and the Champions League together.

"Definitely on all four fronts it makes it easier having so many great players in the team," he said.

"But the seasons when we won the Champions League and almost won the league we showed people we can compete on multiple fronts.

"To be in all four fronts is good for us. Our focus is on making sure we are still in all four competitions for as long as we can go.

"Looking at it now there is only the league that is not really in our hands, all the other cup competitions we are in we believe we can win them or beat everyone on our day if we get it right.

"So the only one is the league - and anything can happen there. It is important for us to keep winning games.

"I don’t think nine points gap is much pressure but we need to keep as much pressure on as we can, make sure we win the game in hand and take it to six.

"There is not much in our hands but anything can happen in this league so make sure we are in a position to pounce if they slip.

"The other three competitions we believe we are able to win them."
