Sven-Goran Eriksson urges Gareth Southgate to name Liverpool pair in England World Cup squad

Gareth Southgate should take both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez to the World Cup in Qatar next month, according to Sven-Goran Eriksson.

England boss Southgate is expected to announce a provisional tournament squad this week before dwindling it down to a final 26-man group on November 10. Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold has been the subject of media scrutiny, having struggled for form at times this season and was also left out of the Three Lions squad that faced Germany in the Nations League last month.
