Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has discussed the prospect of stopping Marcus Rashford ahead of their Premier League clash against Manchester United.

The 24-year-old defender will have his work cut out on Sunday when he comes up against Rashford, who has been in outstanding form for Erik ten Hag's side in all competitions this season.

In total, he has netted 28 times for club and country, including a goal in United's Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle last weekend.

And the England international will be hoping to continue his hot streak in front of goal when United come up against Liverpool,

It won't be easy, mind. Jurgen Klopp's side have managed to keep four consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League – a much-needed upturn in form after a poor start to the campaign.

But full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold knows it will take a collective effort to stop United's attacking force, including Rashford.

"The only thing that’s really changed is he’s probably scored a lot more recently but he’s the same player, he’s always a threat and I’m sure he will be a threat on Sunday," he said ahead of Sunday's clash.

"It will be a tough game but it’s one I’m looking forward to and it will be a good test.

"It’s difficult [to stop Rashford]. He’s a player who’s got a lot of weapons in his arsenal but I think it’s more of a team effort, it won’t be just a one-on-one thing.

"They’ll have more than just Marcus going forward, it’s a team thing and as long the team wins on Sunday, that’s all I’m bothered about."

Alexander-Arnold also touched on United's impressive form this season.

"They’re playing really good football, but the games are never easy when you come up against United," he said.

"Manchester United vs Liverpool is always a tough fixture and they’ve always got a good team and good players, it’s never an easy game and I’m sure it won’t be easy on Sunday.

"It’s important for us to get points on the board and that’s where our heads are at, come April and May, that’s when we know we’ll stand but for now we have to make sure we’re in a good position to push on.

"Three points against a team like [Manchester] United on Sunday will really help us in achieving that."

Do you think Trent and his Liverpool teammates can stop the in-form Rashford?
