Trent Alexander-Arnold will start in midfield for England against Serbia at the European Championships on Sunday night.Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate has selected the Liverpool right-back ahead of Chelsea star Conor Gallagher.The 25-year-old has not always been first choice in his homeland due to his quality as a full-back, but he should now free himself in a central role.Given his lack of minutes, this is a potentially controversial decision, although he did start in that position in the 3-0 friendly win against Bosnia earlier this month.He switched to full-back in the 62nd minute and then fired into the far corner for England’s second goal.At Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold also played the opposite role at times, allowing the Reds to maximize their excellent passing.And his ability on the ball alongside Declan Rice reminded the Three Lions hero of the legendary Tottenham star.England legend Stuart Pearce told talkSPORT: “Dec can do a bit of everything. I think tonight we could even talk about whether Declan has a role in this tournament to play up like he does at Arsenal\ n “I think he can offer a lot more, but the balance has to be right, and if he has Trent, he gets the balance right, he has to be a quarterback in his passing distance.”I would probably compare him to Glenn Hoddle when I got into the England squad.”Glenn probably had a question mark or two about his defensive work but what he could do with the ball at his feet was amazing – Trent is very similar.”But it is possible that the experiment will fail, admits Pearce: “Either he is good enough in that role and wins the manager and stays in that position and he will be a huge success in this. tournament with him going forward, or it just doesn’t work for the tournament level.”This opinion is shared by Manchester United legend Roy Keane, who fears the worst if tactics remain the same after the group stages.\ n Speaking on ITV about the England squad, Keane said: “I think they will do well in the group stages.”I think Trent is in a good position during these games, but it’s against real top teams and I think he’ll come through.”I think he’ll be torn apart when he plays against . one of the best teams in midfield.”.
