Nick Pope is in goal following Jordan Pickford's shaky start to the season, with Kieran Trippier captaining the Three Lions in defence alongside Joe Gomez, Conor Coady, Michael Keane and Saka.

Harry Winks and Kalvin Phillips are in midfield with Jack Grealish, while Danny Ings and Calvert-Lewin play up front.
