Liverpool fans were blown away by Joao Cancelo’s performance during Manchester City’s 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The 27-year-old helped supply two assists and help his team secure a clean sheet during their triumph in the Manchester derby.
There are some suggestions that Cancelo is perhaps the best fullback in the Premier League right now.
Well, a certain Liverpool flyer in Trent Alexander-Arnold will have something to say about that, but one thing is for sure, not many in the world are better than the creative duo.
Whilst Alexander-Arnold is working his magic at right-back for Liverpool, the Portugal international is causing havoc from the left.
Liverpool fans are seriously impressed by what they are seeing from the £60 million player (BBC Sport) and think he is just an incredible footballer to watch.
Just like Trent, it’s what he does in the final third that keeps the opposition struggling to sleep at night, which just goes to show how the game has evolved for fullbacks.
Cancelo showcased his magic at Old Trafford and now Alexander-Arnold will be hoping to follow suit at the London Stadium today.
Liverpool take on high-flying West Ham United, who can leapfrog the Reds in the table if they beat them in a few hours time.
But Jurgen Klopp’s men themselves can move ahead of second-placed Man City and within a point of leaders Chelsea with a win of their own – although a point will also be enough to leapfrog them.
