Anfield Stadium is set to be a cauldron of intensity on Tuesday night as Liverpool host Real Madrid in a UEFA Champions League phase match week four.
The match carries extra emotions, with former Reds player Trent Alexander-Arnold returning to his boyhood club for the first time since his departure.
The defender concluded his lengthy tenure with Liverpool a few months ago after his contract expired, a move that dismayed many of the Merseyside faithful.
The right-back joined the Spanish giants and now returns to face potential jeers from the home crowd as he walks down the Anfield tunnel once again.
However, the Madridistas can argue they haven’t sorely missed his services; a perspective that perhaps contrasts with Liverpool’s current unspoken need for him.
The 27-year-old sustained an injury in the very first Champions League match against Marseille that sidelined him from September until a recent comeback.
He was an unused substitute in the El Clasico and again last weekend against Valencia.
