Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez are options for Liverpool(Image: PETER PARKS/AFP via Getty Images)

Two players for every position has long been the mantra at Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold is a Real Madrid player after moving to the Bernabeu in an £8.5 million deal while Robertson readily admits he is entering the final third of his career having turned 31 in March.

Throw in the summer purchases of £40m left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth and £29m right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and the picture becomes even less clear.



Not least with Kostas Tsimikas and Conor Bradley already options on the respective defensive flanks.

Not that Arne Slot will mind.

While he forged a reputation for getting to the byline at Bournemouth, already with Liverpool there has been signs of him tucking inside and helping provide more space for his winger team-mate, as well as opening up the option of feeding the central players with passes from deep.

On the opposite side of the defence, there has also been a clear trend.

But rather than another new face, it is Bradley who has had the greater minutes at right-back, scoring the first goal of pre-season in the 3-1 win at Preston North End last month.

Frimpong has instead shown his versatility by largely being used as an alternative to Mohamed Salah on the right, during which he created a goal for Trey Nyoni in midweek after coming on for the Egyptian.

For his part, Bradley has largely been encouraged to maintain the approach he employed last season under Slot, being selective over when to push wide or cut inside.

With Alexander-Arnold having been such a key figure in Liverpool's attacking make-up as a whole, let alone from right-back, the two full-back positions will be expected to offer differing strands of creativity.
