Spurs have looked oddly at ease in Europe, completely contradicting their Premier League form, while Ruben Amorim’s side remain the only unbeaten team in European competition this season. They brushed aside Athletic Bilbao 7-1 on aggregate, with a pair of three-goal wins. And while Thursday’s (yesterday's) second leg flirted with drama, the failure of Bilbao to find a second goal meant Old Trafford…

It's been coming. Alexander-Arnold has long been Liverpool's 'Scouser in the team', the local lad whose dream came true. He was both desperate and destined to captain the club he joined at six years of age. However, at some point during the past year or so, something changed. Maybe it was Jurgen Klopp's exit - the impact of which hit Alexander-Arnold even harder than he expected - or maybe he just wanted…
