England's World Cup squad numbers revealed as Marcus Rashford claims No.11 shirt in possible starting XI hint

Starts in season finale Trafford had three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Impact Trafford started Sunday as the season closed out, not having the performance he wanted, with the goalie notching three saves and two goals allowed. This comes despite a clean sheet in his last outing, holding a goalless outing in the FA Cup final. It will be interesting to see what happens with the goalie in the offseason after having his job taken by Gianluigi Donnarumma to begin the season, limiting Trafford to only four league appearances all season.

Zero saves in FA Cup win Trafford recorded zero saves and a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup win over Chelsea.

Impact Trafford was not tasked with much in Saturday's win, as the goalie earned a clean sheet on zero wins as Chelsea was defeated. This now sees the young keeper lead City to two trophies this season, also starting in the 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Arsenal. However, he is still set for a role behind Gianluigi Donnarumma in most matches, leaving some questions for Trafford heading into the 2026/27 season.

Clean sheet against Liverpool Trafford recorded five saves and a clean sheet in Saturday's 4-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Trafford earned another start, making it two in a row, starting in both Cup matches before Donnarumma resumes his starting role in league play. He has now recorded a clean sheet in both Cup games, with nine saves between the two outings. Unfortunately for the keeper, it appears he is still set for back up role, hoping he can at least get the nod for their FA Cup semifinal against Southampton.
