The entire England squad comprises of players from the Premier League and there is only one player in the Croatia squad who currently plays for a Premier League side and that’s Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren.

Lovren played alongside England’s Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the final of the UEFA Champions League at the end of May and will now play against each other in a World Cup semifinal.

Henderson and Lovren are often the fall guys at Liverpool and if someone told me a year ago that at least one of Henderson or Lovren will play in the finals of both the UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup, then I would have placed my bet against them.

Henderson and Lovren have been unsung heroes for their teams and are sure to start unless injury prevents them from doing so. As for young Alexander-Arnold, he played against Belgium in the group stage but has been kept out of the side by the impressive Kieran Trippier.
