Trent Alexander-Arnold makes first start for Liverpool with uncle watching on from the stands... but Sky use Joe Gomez's body in pre-match gaffe

Trent Alexander-Arnold isn't likely to forget his weekend in a hurry, as he made his first start for Liverpool in a huge Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

On top of that, his uncle - none other than Manchester United club secretary John Alexander - watched on from the stands as the youngster started at right back.

While it was clearly a positive day for the 18-year-old, who played the full 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw, there appeared to be some slight confusion ahead of the game.
