Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says he would '100 per cent' let a teammate take a free-kick over him if he feels they are more confident in scoring it.
The right back is somewhat a set piece specialist for the Reds with most dead ball situations falling on his shoulders. He's certainly good at it, having scored four direct free-kicks so far in his senior career at Anfield.
The 23-year-old, however, would happily step aside if a teammate was confident in stepping up. He also explained why some situations are more suited to centre back Virgil van Dijk.

Alexander-Arnold told Laurence McKenna in collaboration with SONOS : "I've always said that if I'm not 100 per cent sure that I can score it, so if I've got a little bit of doubt, and a teammate comes to me and says 'I think I can score this', then I'll step away 100 per cent of the time.
"But then now, thinking about it, your ego starts to come into it and it's like 'come on, do you want your name in headlines or do you want to give it to your teammate," he added with a smile on his face.
"I have said if I feel like my teammate is more confident than I am, then that's fair enough! I back them, I trust them and their ability as I see them in training all the time. That's the fair thing and the good thing to do.
"The further out I get [to take the free-kick], then it's like 'can I get enough power on it and technique' to realistically do this? Then it might be better suited to Virgil! Even if it's a bit wider or at a bit of an angle, maybe it's better suited to a left-footer. But if it's a general area where it's doable then it's rare that I won't feel like I'm able to score."
