Gareth Southgate has made a huge call ahead of England's Euro 2024 clash with Slovakia.
England 's starting XI for their Euro 2024 round-of-16 match has been 'leaked', with Gareth Southgate making a major change. England produced three underwhelming performances in the group stage, but still managed to clinch top spot in Group C to secure a place in the favourable side of the knockout draw.Fans and pundits have highlighted several problems with England 's set-up, with midfield being the biggest one.
Conor Gallagher was chosen to partner Declan Rice in midfield, but he was hooked at half-time during the goalless draw with Slovenia and replaced by Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo.Southgate has also reportedly decided to stick with Kieran Trippier at left-back, ignoring calls for Luke Shaw to come into the side or for England to adopt a back-three system.
Ahead of the match, Southgate defended his team from criticism, saying: "A team is never quite as poor as people might think, and never quite as good as people might think."England's starting XI vs Slovakia is expected to be: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Rice, Mainoo; Foden, Bellingham, Saka; Kane.
