Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has spoken about the ideal position for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The right-back put in an impressive attacking display in a 1-1 draw against Manchester City away from home.

Alexander-Arnold's late run and excellent finish gave the Reds a valuable Premier League point on Saturday.

I think the closest you could get with Jurgen Klopp is, Liverpool have never really had back-up for Trent in terms of a right-back. It's Joe Gomez, who's really a centre-back," Carragher explained.

It's difficult to get back-up because he's such a good player and he's always going to play.

But, for me, going forward, I would love Liverpool to acquire a top-quality right-back, not a young kid coming through, and in some games say [to Alexander-Arnold]: 'We're going to push you forward today. We'll have someone else that deals with the winger, one v one.'

I think that could be a progression for Liverpool and Trent, if he gets more games in midfield The goal he scores today, Liverpool haven't had a player that can score from that range, apart from maybe Szoboszlai, since Steven Gerrard; once he gets 20-25 yards from goal, you think he's got a chance of scoring."
