Alexander-Arnold takes midfield role as Southgate shuffles his England pack for Andorra qualifier

Gareth Southgate has named his England squad to face Andorra, with Trent Alexander-Arnold deployed in a midfield role.

Following the comfortable win over Hungary on Thursday, it would be a major surprise if England were to drop points against the minnows, despite Southgate experimenting with his side ahead of the final match of this qualifying triple header against Poland on Wednesday.

Also involved from the outset is Leeds star Patrick Bamford – a player many felt should have been given more of a chance ahead of Euro 2020.
