Jamie Carragher believes Kieran Trippier will start for England at the World Cup ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold as the countdown to Qatar continues.
Alexander-Arnold has come under intense criticism this season for his performances at right-back and has continued to be overlooked by Gareth Southgate in fixtures involving the Three Lions. The question over whether the Reds' right-back will even make the 26-man squad has even been raised, though recent injuries to key personnel may well have influenced this outcome.
Kyle Walker is a doubt for the World Cup while Reece James is expected to miss out after sustaining a hamstring issue, leaving Southgate potentially short of two players who looked certain to start at the tournament.
