Gareth Southgate is set to make a change to England’s midfield for the final Euro 2024 group game against Slovenia, bringing in Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher to replace Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Three Lions will advance to the knockout stages of the Euros as Group C winners if they beat Slovenia in Cologne on Tuesday night.

England began their Euro 2024 campaign with a nervy 1-0 victory over Serbia before being held to a 1-1 draw by Denmark last time out.

Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold started against Serbia and Denmark alongside Declan Rice in England’s midfield but his performances have divided opinion.

Alexander-Arnold was subbed off after half-time in both group games and The Athletic say his replacement, Gallagher, is set to start against Slovenia.

Energetic midfielder Gallagher impressed for Chelsea last season, playing all but one of their Premier League games and captaining the side for most of the campaign in the absence of the injured Reece James.

Despite playing a crucial role for the Blues, Gallagher has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Tottenham and Aston Villa among the clubs interested in a deal.
