As the 2022 World Cup in Qatar draws nearer, England manager Gareth Southgate faces some tough decisions over his squad selection. With a wealth of talent available, fans are eager to have their say on who should start for the Three Lions.
Goalkeeping Options
Jordan Pickford remains the undisputed number one, but Aaron Ramsdale and Dean Henderson provide strong competition. Pickford's experience in major tournaments gives him the edge, but Ramsdale's form for Arsenal cannot be ignored.
Defensive Choices
In defence, Harry Maguire's place is under scrutiny after a difficult season at Manchester United. John Stones and Conor Coady offer reliable options, while emerging talents like Marc Guehi and Ben White could force their way into the squad. At full-back, Reece James and Kieran Trippier battle for the right-back spot, with Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell competing on the left.
Midfield Dynamics
Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham are likely to start in midfield, with Mason Mount providing creativity. Kalvin Phillips, if fit, adds defensive solidity, while James Maddison and Conor Gallagher offer alternative attacking threats.
Attacking Firepower
Harry Kane leads the line as captain and chief goalscorer. Supporting him, Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka, and Phil Foden provide pace and skill. Marcus Rashford and Jarrod Bowen are also in contention, while Callum Wilson offers a different striking option.
