The lad who went to St Matthews School might have to take his medicine on the night."I’m not sure he’ll get a great reception to be honest with you, because of the manner that a lot of the fans believe that he left," says Emile Heskey, via Dream Vegas. Well, he’s a Liverpool legend.

He’s a local lad that’s come good."He’s lived every Scouse kid’s dream, hasn’t he? So, for that, he should be getting a great reception, but I doubt he will get one."Toxteth-born Robbie Fowler adds: “It would be good to see him, I’m not sure he’ll get a very good reaction or ovation from the crowd.

But fundamentally he is not a Liverpool player. I hope he has a good game if he does play or he does come on, but I hope he loses.”With a whopping 21 European Cups between the clubs, the return of Alexander-Arnold shouldn't dominate the agenda on Tuesday night, but its status as a fascinating subplot is inescapable.
