Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to partner Declan Rice in midfield for England as they prepare for Euro 2024 this weekend.

Gareth Southgate has been experimenting with Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield in recent times and there is a good chance. He will retain his new position at a major tournament like Euro 2024 UFABET 

Southgate has Declan Rice as his first choice in midfield. While his previous partner Kalvin Phillips has also fallen out of form and is out of the squad. 

The Telegraph, a British media outlet, analyzed that. Trent Alexander-Arnold has the best chance of partnering Rice. Even though the team has other options such as Cobbie Menu, Conor Gallagher and Adam Wharton. 

Southgate’s decision to hand the Liverpool star the No. 8 shirt also adds weight to his chances of playing in midfield at Euro 2024, which begins on Friday, June 14.

If Trent forms a central partnership with Rice, England’s attacking line could be Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden. Providing creative support for centre-forward Harry Kane. 

Rice is right in that England have all-but qualified for the last 16 at Euro 2024. But fans and pundits alike will expect a much-improved performance against Slovenia on Tuesday night from Gareth Southgate’s men. Victory will secure top spot and ensure the Three Lions face a relatively easier opponent in the first knockout round.
