# Liverpool: Fans excited about Trent Alexander-Arnold midfield role

**A number of Liverpool supporters are excited to see Trent Alexander-Arnold in a rare central midfield role for England against Andorra.**

The 22-year-old has already achieved so much in his blossoming career, leaping from youth team prospect at Anfield to [arguably the best right-back](https://www.rousingthekop.com/2020/12/03/espn-ranks-trent-alexander-arnold-as-best-right-back-in-the-world/) in world football.

Alexander-Arnold is already a [Premier League and Champions League winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trent-alexander-arnold/erfolge/spieler/314353) and he looks highly likely to be a future Liverpool captain given his current trajectory.

While the youngster has matured into a stunning right-back under Jurgen Klopp, he also used to play in [midfield](https://africa.espn.com/football/blog/tactics-and-analysis/67/post/3710971/trent-alexander-arnold-is-already-a-world-class-full-back-but-he-might-not-be-there-for-long) during his youth team days.

According to [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/09/04/gareth-southgate-asks-england-players-show-humility-wary-provocative/) \[via journalist Mike McGrath on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1434272228594573313?s=20)\], Alexander-Arnold will line-up in that role in England’s 2022 World Cup qualifier at home to Andorra on Sunday.

It will give Liverpool fans a chance to watch their hero in a different position, potentially seeing whether or not it will work further on in his career.
