The manager’s task is to select 11 players to start against Serbia in England’s opening group games for the Euro 2020 finals. This may upset more people as some will be left disappointed at not being chosen. England will be aiming to improve on their performance in the previous tournament.

There are still some questions remaining about the lineup for the game against Serbia, particularly concerning Luke Shaw’s fitness. It is suggested that Kieran Trippier might start in place of Luke Shaw. The manager may opt for a more conventional midfield three rather than a 4-2-3-1 formation with Jude Bellingham in the number 10 role.

There is discussion about Alexander-Arnold’s potential role in the team, with Southgate expressing confidence in his abilities and readiness to start in that position. Despite injury issues at the end of the season, it is anticipated that captain Kane will feature in the lineup. However, there are uncertainties about the wide positions.

The warm-up games suggest a fluid setup with players moving across the front line.
