Goalkeeper – Pickford<\/h3>\n
Jordan Pickford is likely to start in between the sticks for England, with Aaron Ramsdale yet to dislodge the Everton stopper as Southgate’s first choice goalkeeper. The 29-year-old will be high on confidence after impressing with a string of crucial saves for Everton in their 2-2 draw at Sheffield United last weekend.<\/p>\n
Defence – Walker, Guehi, Maguire, Chilwell<\/h3>\n
England will be forced to cope without a number of their usual defenders against Ukraine, with Reece James and Trent Alexander-Arnold among those out injured. Kyle Walker will be the obvious choice to start at right-back, while Marc Guehi could feature in the absence of John Stones at centre-back.<\/p>\n
Harry Maguire could also be given the nod despite his lack of regular minutes at Manchester United, with Ben Chilwell likely to fill in for the injured Luke Shaw on the left.<\/p>\n

Declan Rice was the hero for Arsenal with a stoppage-time winner against United last weekend, while Jude Bellingham has already established himself as Real Madrid’s newest star with five goals in four league matches.<\/p>\n James Maddison has also been impressing at Tottenham and was recently nominated for the Premier League’s player of the month award for August. Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, is likely to be named on the bench following his money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
