England coach Gareth Southgate says he plans to play Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield for their Euro 2024 qualifier against Malta.

The Liverpool defender was moved forward in the second-half of last season to great success.

Southgate said: "He is more than capable of playing there and it can be really exciting.

"If we were to do that, we would not be expecting perfection because there is a lot to learn, particularly without the ball.

“With the ball, that is a more straightforward transition for him now. He has been playing there a little bit more for his club so it is something for us to consider, definitely."
