Stats: Alexander-Arnold closes in on half-century for Reds
Trent Alexander-Arnold could make his 50th Premier League appearance for Liverpool at Southampton on Friday night.
The 20-year-old would bring up a half-century of league outings for his boyhood club should he feature at St Mary's.
Alexander-Arnold made his top-flight debut in December 2016 when he came on as a substitute in the closing stages of a 3-0 win at Middlesbrough.
