With less than one week to go until England kick-off their 2022 World Cup campaign, the 26-man travelling party have learned of their official squad numbers.
Gareth Southgate's squad will take to the pitch at the Khalifa International Stadium by 1pm UK time next Monday to face Iran, before meetings with the USA and Wales and a hopeful progression into the latter stages of the knockouts.
The England boss confirmed on Thursday that four Merseysiders will be on that plane, with Liverpool duo Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold joining Toffees pair Conor Coady and Jordan Pickford in the Middle East.

The Red and Blue halves of Merseyside experienced very different ends to their Premier League efforts, with Frank Lampard's side losing 3-0 at Bournemouth while Jurgen Klopp's men comfortably beat Southampton 3-1. Shortly after their respective results, the England players set off to meet the rest of their compatriots at St. George's Park.
And this evening, all the England players have learned of their squad numbers for the tournament. Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold will not be able to don the usual No.66 shirt in Qatar, instead opting for the slightly less unorthodox No.18 - the shirt worn by Dominic Calvert-Lewin during Euro 2020 - while Henderson has also changed from his usual No.14 to a classic No.8.
Everton goalkeeper Pickford will be hoping to retain his place as England's No.1, and he has done in shirt form at least, with Toffees teammate Coady sporting No.16.
