Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has a connection to Accrington Stanley that he "probably won't remember" ahead of the FA Cup tie between the sides which is set to take place this at Anfield weekend.

Arne Slot is set to name a much-changed starting XI for the match against League Two opposition, so it remains to be seen whether or not Alexander-Arnold will feature - but Stanley boss John Doolan is hoping that he does.

"I looked after Trent when he was six and seven, which he probably won’t remember, but his mum, Diane, might," Doolan said, via The Independent.



You could see he was an outstanding talent, even back then.

"When I moved on with my career, I ended up going back at some point and he was playing at center-back, which I was surprised at.

But he didn’t look out of place playing center-back.

"That’s why he’s now playing right-back and he’s developed unbelievably.

It would be nice if he does remember but it would be nice to see Diane and catch up with her as well."

Accrington is currently 19th in the fourth tier of the English game, level on points with Tranmere Rovers and only a point above the relegation zone.

"We know the size of the task, we could have had the best facilities ever, but you’re talking about playing Liverpool Football Club," Doolan, who is an Everton fan, continued.
