England manager Gareth Southgate made a brave call as he fielded three at the back against Switzerland on Saturday with Kieran Trippier and Bukayo Saka deployed as wing backs.
The system made the Three Lions look a much improved side from the off but the team struggled to make promising moves count before Switzerland opened the scoring. Arsenal star Saka then pulled one back to send the game into extra time before England triumphed on penalties.

1. GK - Jordan Pickford
England's penalty hero against Switzerland. Had a pretty quiet game away from that but proves himself the man for the big occasion time and time again. | Getty Images
2. LWB - Luke Shaw
Made his long-awaited return from a hamstring niggle off the bench against Switzerland. The England system was more convincing with him in it and reports suggest he'll take the starting berth from Kieran Trippier. | Getty Images
3. CB - John Stones
Has played every minute of the tournament so far and is trusted at the back. | Getty Images
4. CB - Marc Guehi
Missed out against Switzerland due to suspension but had been solid before. It's expected that the Crystal Palace man comes back in the side for Ezri Konsa but the Aston Villa man was impressive on Saturday. | Getty Images
