In the upcoming matchup between Republic of Ireland and England, Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to return to his full-back role after being shifted into midfield at the Euros. With Kieran Trippier retiring and Kyle Walker absent from the squad, Alexander-Arnold will have the opportunity to showcase his skills. Despite not recording any assists yet this season with Liverpool, the 25-year-old has been creating chances. In fact, he has already created three big chances, just one fewer than the leaders in that particular statistic. This makes him a strong contender for an anytime assist in the upcoming game.
On the flip side, Declan Rice may face some adversity from the home fans due to his switch from Ireland to England in 2019. The Arsenal midfielder has been averaging exactly one foul per game in the Premier League. At a good price, he could be a solid option to commit two or more fouls in the upcoming match. Rice has been under some scrutiny for his performances in Germany over the summer, which may motivate him to show his worth on the field with some aggressive challenges.
Another player to watch out for is Will Smallbone, who is known for his willingness to take shots. The midfielder averaged 1.3 shots per game for Southampton in the Championship last season and is maintaining the same figure in the Premier League this season. With his penchant for testing the goalkeeper, Smallbone could easily have two or more attempts on goal against England.
