England face world champions Spain tomorrow in their Nations League opener, with plenty of Chelsea interest surrounding the Wembley clash.
The fixture could see Morgan Rogers feature in England’s attacking formation, with the Chelsea stars tipped to carry his early form into this game. He could come up against former Blue Marc Cucurella, as well as Spain stars Pedri, Rodri and Lamine Yamal.
The England predicted XI:
GK - Jordan Pickford
The Everton ‘keeper is the number one and undisputed in the England ranks. Will be surprised to another player between the posts tomorrow
RB - Trent Alexander-Arnold
The Real Madrid fullback has come back into the squad and will look to cement his place in Reece James’ absence.
CB - Ezri Konsa
A step above Levi Colwill and Josh Acheampong in this position, so no surprise to see him in the squad and the Chelsea players home or in the youth squads.
CB - Marc Guehi
The former Chelsea academy player has established himself as one of England’s best defenders, leaving many fans wishing the club had held on to him.
LB - Lewis Hall
Another academy prospect who has flourished since leaving Chelsea, with fans once again left wishing they had kept him in their ranks this season. Favoured over Nico O'Reily due to his defensive ability as he will likely be up against Lamine Yamal.
CM - Elliot Anderson
Likely to be the first name on the team sheet as Declan Rice is out and he will provide the ball-winning ability required in the middle. May deputise for Chelsea target, Alex Scott, later in the game.
CM - Jude Bellingham
Always prefer him further up the pitch, but he should suit this deeper role well.
RW - Bukayo Saka
The Arsenal “starboy” is the favourite to start on the right, where he will look to test Cucurella time and again in the wide areas.
AM - Morgan Rogers
The Chelsea newboy has been a revelation since arriving from Aston Villa, breaking multiple records along the way. The £120 million price tag has already looked worth every penny. He should thrive in this attacking role and will be eager to test himself against Rodri.
LW - Eberechi Eze
He provides something a little different to Anthony Gordon, with Eze offering Hall extra cover when dealing with Yamal. His tendency to move inside in possession should also create space for Hall to overlap.
ST - Harrry Kane
The undisputed king of centre forwards, and potential future Ballon d’Or winner. No competition so he starts when fit.
