Top 5 defenders in the Premier League at present

#3 Trent Alexander-Arnold

The full-back continues to earn plaudits in the Premier League

Trent Alexander-Arnold played an integral part in the Liverpool team that defeated the almighty Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season. He was the one who provided the audacious assist that won the game for the Reds.

This season, the youngster hasn't taken his feet off the pedal as he keeps on firing. The English International has staked his claim to be one of the best right-backs in the Premier League at present.

With Liverpool yet to lose a game in the league in over 300 days, Alexander-Arnold is one of the most important cogs in defence and offence for the team. It is even fair to say that he is one of those players that manager Jurgen Klopp looks to when the time for defensive duties need to be mixed with attacking ones.

This season, Alexander-Arnold has helped the Reds’ cause by being a defensive powerhouse, making 26 tackles, 28 interceptions, 45 clearances, 27 blocks and winning 9 aerial duels in the 20 games he has featured in so far.
