<\/p>\n
Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in full training and is set to play in Liverpool\u2019s huge match at Tottenham, according to Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
Liverpool travel to north London on Saturday eveing in what should be an epic clash between two of the Premier League\u2019s most in-form teams.<\/p>\n
Both sides are unbeaten after six games and among the league\u2019s top scorers, with the Reds second in the table, just two points ahead of Spurs.<\/p>\n
Klopp\u2019s side has been largely injury free so far this season, though they have had to do without vice-captain Alexander-Arnold for the last month after he was injured during the 3-0 win over Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
The right-back suffered a thigh injury, but earlier this week his manager revealed he had done some light training with the first team, and it seems he is now back and ready to go.<\/p>\n
\u2018Trent trained yesterday normal,\u2019 Klopp said in his pre-match press conference on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u2018Will train today normal. We have to make a decision. I\u2019m not a doctor but it looks like he will be in the squad and play.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t so positive news for the other injuries in the squad however: \u2018Thiago [Alcantara] still out. Conor [Bradley] still out.<\/p>\n
\u2018Stefan [Bajcetic] had a little setback. Tiny calf issue. Everyone wants to see him play more but we have to be careful. That\u2019s how it is when you\u2019ve had six months out.\u2019<\/p>\n
As Liverpool boss, Klopp has lost just one of his 18 games against Tottenham, winning 11 of those encounters.<\/p>\n
But under new manager Ange Postecoglou, this Spurs side are far more attack-minded and confident than their predecessors, and Klopp has been impressed by the opposition.<\/p>\n
He added: \u2018Spurs is a tough test, we\u2019ve not played an easy game yet, away at Newcastle, Chelsea really tough. All aways have been tough.<\/p>\n
\u2018Spurs doing well, Ange seems a top bloke, looking forward to meeting him. I think [fans] were all desperate for offensive football, he\u2019s doing it.\u2019<\/p>\n
