Liverpool are going through such a turbulent period on and off the pitch at the moment that focusing on whether players are experiencing good form or not almost feels secondary.
As Liverpool have pushed forward through the storm in recent weeks, the Scouse full-back has been one of the few to stamp his mark on proceedings by gradually getting closer to the standards he set last year.
However, although individual showings are almost besides the point at the moment, Trent Alexander-Arnold received enough criticism at the beginning of the campaign to suggest that his upturn in form deserves just as much recognition.
One week earlier against Leicester City, Alexander-Arnold again had quite an impact on the play.
Fourth in the table at a minimum is a must, and it bodes well for Liverpool that as the business end of the season approaches, one of the team's most important players and one who has been integral to recent success appears to be growing in prominence.
It is a quite incredible scenario for Jürgen Klopp to manage and as a consequence, results have dramatically declined since Christmas.
Almost all of the club's issues at the moment are short-term, with overall health generally as strong as it has been in decades, but to ensure that those short-term problems fail to have much of a hindrance on long-term goals, Klopp's outfit must secure Champions League football next season.
