Alexis Mac Allister names the Premier League opponent who winds him up the most who he 'wants to kick'

Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister has picked the one Premier League opponent who winds him up the most.

After only two seasons at Anfield, Mac Allister has already established himself as one of the most important players in the Liverpool squad, making 49 appearances in all competitions this season.

Under new boss Arne Slot, the Argentine has continued to improve, leading to him playing a key role in the Premier League title-winning campaign this season.

Since arriving from Brighton in the summer of 2023, Mac Allister has been outspoken about his love for playing at the peak of the English top flight.

However, in a recent interview he revealed that there is one rival player that he has clashed with during his time at Liverpool that has wound him up more than anyone else.

According to a report from The Mirror, the Liverpool midfielder named Manchester City star Jack Grealish as the biggest wind up merchant in the Premier League, admitting that he enjoys kicking him.

He said: "You feel like kicking him. But even when you do, he gets right back up. And somehow, that makes you feel like you're winning..

In total, Mac Allister has faced off with Grealish on four occasions, once when the Englishman was still at Aston Villa and the other three after his move to Manchester City.

Of these matches, the Argentine lost two, drew one and winning one after he had joined Liverpool.

Mac Allister's decision to pick Grealish will likely not come as a surprise to some after the winger has built up a reputation for his antics both on and off the pitch, with fans and pundits often accusing him of going to ground too easily.

His style of play even led to Manchester United legend Roy Keane drawing comparisons with Olympic legend Tom Daley when he won a penalty for City during a 2023 match against former club Villa.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said: "We’re saying Jack is more like Tom Daley, but I think it is a penalty, and it’s clever from Jack. He gets his body across and like Gary [Neville] said in commentary, he knows exactly what he’s doing."
