Formation: 4-3-3

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford

Jordan Pickford has had some shaky moments this season but he has still helped Everton on their way to the fifth most clean sheets in the league (12).Apart from a few notable errors, such as his howler which gave Divock Origi a tap in for Liverpool in December, the stopper has done nothing to suggest he should be replaced in Southgate’s line-up.Pickford deserves to keep his spot in the England line-up6

His ability on the ball and superb distribution is key to how England play and that will be imperative to the Three Lions’ chances in the competition in the summer.

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Maguire, John Stones, Ben Chilwell

In a traditional back four, Trent Alexander-Arnold gets the nod over Kyle Walker at right-back.The Liverpool star has once again been impressive this season, making the PFA Team of the Year and helping the Reds to a league-high 19 clean sheets.The left-back slot is a little more tricky, with Danny Rose, Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell all deserving of a spot.Alexander-Arnold is widely regarded as one of the best young players in European football6

But because the Foxes full-back was most impressive in the Euro qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro, Chilwell gets the nod in the XI.The familiar World Cup pairing of John Stones and Harry Maguire complete the defence for their ball-playing ability, with Everton’s Michael Keane and Burnley’s James Tarkowski waiting in the wings.

Midfielders: Declan Rice, Dele Alli, Jordan Henderson

Declan Rice has had an outstanding breakthrough season in the Premier League and has deservedly been nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award. He fills in the slot in front of the defence.Dele Alli, although injury-struck for large parts of the season, has been brilliant for Spurs in recent weeks and has been instrumental to their good form. He also possesses the ability to score goals from midfield and contributes well defensively.Rice has been a revelation for the Hammers this seasson6

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson completes the midfield trio following his solid displays for the title-chasing Reds this campaign.Henderson also has leaderships skills, which is necessary to command authority in the young England line-up.

Forwards: Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford

Raheem Sterling, in the absence of Harry Kane, will undoubtedly be England’s main man for the tournament should the Three Lions’ skipper be absent.The City winger has had an incredible season and has gone from a very good player to a world class one this campaign.Sterling will be England’s main man in the absence of Kane6

Joining him in the front three is Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho, who lit up the Bundesliga this season and Marcus Rashford, who is England’s best option up top without Kane, despite the United forward going through a barren run of form.Callum Wilson is a more than capable replacement in the no.9 role, having netted 12 goals for the Cherries in a fine season for the forward.Have a look at the line-up in full below…Could this be England’s line-up against the Netherlands?6
