Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has described Trent Alexander-Arnold's final Anfield appearance as the 'last dance'. The 26-year-old will leave the club in the weeks after the final Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Sunday after turning down a new contract.
Alexander-Arnold will leave as a free agent and the expectation is that he will join Real Madrid. He remained on the bench against the FA Cup winners with Conor Bradley maintaining his place a right full-back.
Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong with Arne Slot quickly looking to target reinforcements on their right-hand side, while Conor Bradley was rewarded with his fine form.

In a post on his Instagram story, he shared a snap on the team bus with Alexander-Arnold wearing sunglasses with the caption: "One last dance [red heart emoji]."
The England international has made just one appearance since announcing his departure after their defeat to Chelsea.
He was subjected to boos during their draw with Arsenal, which proved to be divisive in the world of football with some figures disagreeing with the reception from the section of Liverpool supporters.
Jurgen Klopp reignited the dispute on Friday after marking his return to Merseyside over a year after leaving bidding farewell to Liverpool.
"I don't want to tell anyone what they should think, I don't want to say what you have to think but I can tell you what you think is wrong," he said.
"I am an old man and I don't waste time with hiding my opinion.
"I watched the game when he came on and I heard the booing. I'm old so it my be my hearing so I turned up the volume and said: 'That's booing'.

"I needed another 10 seconds to realise and then I switched the telly off. I honestly could not have been more disappointed in this moment. This is not us, 100 per cent.
"I don't tell you you should not be disappointed or angry, I tell you: 'Don't forget'. This club does not forget. We are famous for not forgetting.
"We don't forget anything. We don't forget the good thing and we don't forget the bad thing. But we ignore the bad things and remember the good things.
"You don't have to be happy he is going but don't forget what he did for this club because I can't forget it."
