Amid the long-term absence of Nathaniel Clyne due to injury, Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been battling it out for the England international’s right-back slot at Liverpool this season.

The former has proved the preferred option on the most part, but the latter – a Liverpool academy product – has shown real promise when brought into the starting XI, especially going forward.

So with a huge game against Manchester City on the cards this Sunday, we asked Liverpool fans earlier this week whether Gomez or Alexander-Arnold should start at No.2 against Pep Guardiola’s side.

And our poll revealed opinions amongst Liverpool fans are incredibly divided at the moment – with only 10% splitting the two youngsters and Gomez coming out on top. That’s most likely because he’s the more natural defender, whereas Alexander-Arnold looks to contribute offensively as well, which could be of huge significance against City.

So, Liverpool fans, how would you line up Jurgen Klopp’s side this weekend? Let us know by commenting below…
