ENGLAND fans are in a frenzy of excitement after an official teamsheet suggested Trent Alexander-Arnold will operate as No10 in Malta.
The Three Lions’ Twitter account indicated the Liverpool right-wing back will be turned into a playmaker for Friday night’s Euro 2024 qualifier.
Boss Gareth Southgate also included Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi and Leicester playmaker James Maddison as his Group C leaders take on the bottom team.
But it’s the tantalising prospect of TTA moving forward that has intrigued supporters – with one calling it “just the right amount of weird”.
Another fan wrote: “Trent Alexander-Arnold with the number 10 on his back? This is the content I signed up for.”
A similar view was: “I’m all for Alexander-Arnold wearing number 10 tonight.”

A third posted: “I like how the players in England switch up their numbers”.
And a few supporters were licking their lips at the possibility of superb crosser Alexander-Arnold servicing sole striker Harry Kane.
One said: “He’s the best passer in England. Deserved.”
Kieran Trippier is at right-back – leaving fans wondering if TTA will be directly in front of the Newcastle star or indeed directly behind Kane.

Many supporters were upset to see Treble-winning Manchester City winger Jack Grealish and United striker Marcus Rashford on the bench.
