England ‘leaked’ XI to face Senegal: Spurs, Arsenal & Chelsea stars tipped to start.
England return to World Cup action this evening against Senegal in the Round of 16. The Three Lions lock horns with Aliou Cissé’s side at Al Bayt Stadium knowing a win will take them into the Quarter Final.
Gareth Southgate’s men ended up winning their group after beating Wales 3-0 last time out courtesy of goals from Marcus Rashford (x2) and Phil Foden. They won their opening game 6-2 against Iran before they were held 0-0 by USA.
England have a host of players from London clubs in their 26-man squad including Chelsea’s Mason Mount, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, West Ham’s Declan Rice and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane. Southgate has a few big selection decisions to make ahead of tonight’s clash and it will be interesting to see if he freshens up his starting XI.
Here is a ‘leaked’ England line-up based on various reports, including Sky Sports who claim Saka will be starting...
