Robbie Savage has called for Gareth Southgate to stick with his decision to play Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield despite criticisms of the Liverpool man's display against Serbia.
Alexander-Arnold was the bold choice of Southgate to partner Declan Rice in midfield for England's opening game against Serbia, and although the Three Lions got the job done, many weren't convinced by the new England number eight.
Southgate's side struggled in the second half, and there have been calls for the manager to rethink his midfield options ahead of the meeting with Denmark.
However, Savage told Planet Sport Bet that he would give Alexander-Arnold another go in his new role.
“I think Trent Alexander-Arnold played well and I’d stick with him for now,” said Savage.
“My England side before the tournament was a 4-3-3, with Declan Rice as the six and Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden as the two number eights.
"Then Harry Kane could drop in, which would allow Bellingham to run off him – that’s how I would set up.
“Trent is exceptional on the ball and at times he has got those defensive instincts, but it’s a new role for him. I would stick with him for now, but if they were to play the likes of Germany, Spain, Italy or France, what would happen?”
