Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has opened up on how much he is enjoying playing with Ryan Gravenberch under Arne Slot. The pair have formed a great partnership at the start of the new season.

"I’m very lucky, I have to say, because Ryan is a fantastic player," Mac Allister told Sky Sports. "When you play with good players, everything is easier.

"I’m very happy that he is doing well, and I think everyone can see that and see how important Ryan is for our team. It’s nice to play alongside him, we are trying to still adapt and learn from each other, so I really enjoy it."

Slot has settled in nicely to the Liverpool set-up, defeat to Nottingham Forest aside. So far, that 1-0 defeat to Nuno Espirito Santo's team is the only blot on the Dutchman's copybook, with impressive wins at AC Milan and Manchester United.

"He's doing an amazing job," Mac Allister said. "You can see how much he knows about football. Tactically, he is very good and he tries to be [on top of] every detail.

"We are very happy with Arne and we are working very hard. We have many games coming up and we have to show what we can do. Hopefully it is going to be a good time for Arne."

Liverpool.com says: When Gravenberch drives forward, Mac Allister can slot in at the base of the Reds' midfield to cover for him. It's a partnership that works really nicely. With Dominik Szoboszlai improving in front too, there is a good balance to that part of the team and so far, the signs have been really promising.
