Premier League leaders Liverpool are currently on course to take advantage of Manchester City’s loss at Brighton earlier tonight as the Reds currently hold a 1-0 lead over Aston Villa.
A goal in the 20th minute by Darwin Núñez separates the two sides on a night where Arne Slot’s troops could extend their lead over Pep Guardiola’s men to five points going into the international break.
Still, any potential result may have been soured after Trent Alexander-Arnold was removed with an apparent knock.
The England international looked to be in discomfort before being examined by Liverpool’s medical team but fortunately walked off under his own power before being replaced by Conor Bradley.
Perhaps divine providence intervened with the upcoming break in club play, with fans no doubt anxiously awaiting news on the fitness of their star right-back.
