Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to play left-back against Finland, shaking up England's lineup after interim manager Lee Carsley's previous tactical experiments proved unsuccessful.
Carsley had previously experimented with Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden as false nines, but that strategy failed to produce results against Greece, raising questions about his managerial abilities.
With the introduction of Alexander-Arnold at left-back, Manchester City's Rico Lewis will be benched, indicating a significant shift in the defensive strategy as Carsley attempts to regroup.
Harry Kane and Jack Grealish are expected to return for the England squad against Finland, signaling a possible reinvigoration of the team's attacking options.
