Attack – Sterling, Kane, Foden

Captain Harry Kane will spearhead the attack for Southgate, three years after winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup.

England will be pinning their hopes on the Tottenham man and hoping speculation over his future does not affect his performances.

Raheem Sterling has struggled for City of late but has often saved his best for England and could do so again this summer.

Phil Foden makes up the XI after proving his quality in a superb individual campaign domestically and in Europe.

England’s best XI in full: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Henderson, Rice, Mount; Sterling, Kane, Foden.
