Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold warns Newcastle of backlash

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says they must learn from Sunday's 1-1 draw with West Brom.

The Reds head to St. James' Park on the back of a 1-1 draw with West Brom, who capitalised on a below-par second-half performance from the hosts at Anfield on Sunday.

Asked how hungry Liverpool will be heading to Newcastle, the No.66 told Premier League Productions: "Massively.

"I think we kind of know that it's going to be a similar sort of game. They'll probably have the idea of wanting to stop us from doing what we want to do and then counter really.

"But it's the Premier League, so anything can happen – we saw that [against West Brom]. We know that if we're not at 100 per cent then we don't deserve the three points.

"That's something we'll be looking at and making sure that our mindset and mentality is right throughout the whole 90 minutes because [against West Brom] it wasn't and we got punished for that."

He added: "It's going to be a difficult game. There's never going to be an easy game in the Premier League, so we're not expecting that.

"But I think we know that if we're at 100 per cent then we have the confidence to go there and win – but only if we're at 100 per cent."
