Bellingham continues to impress, showcasing his talent this season after his standout performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he emerged as the third highest goalscorer and played a crucial role in securing third place for England.

Alexander-Arnold, having been sidelined by Tuchel for much of the previous year, has worked hard to regain his position. He was included in the squad during the last international window and is once again set to start against Croatia.
