England ‘leaked’ XI to face Wales: Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham stars tipped to start World Cup clash
England ‘leaked’ XI to face Wales: Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham stars tipped to start.
England return to World Cup action this evening with a clash against Wales. The Three Lions will progress into the Round of 16 with a win over Rob Page’s side.
Gareth Southgate’s men sit top of Group B after a win over Iran and a draw against USA last time out. Wales, on the other hand, are bottom and will be knocked out of the tournament if they don’t win. They also need other results to go their way.
Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham all have representatives in the England squad and Southgate could make as many as four changes for this next clash, according to The Sun. They started with a bang in their first outing but looked a bit leggy in the dull game against the States as they were held 0-0.
Here is a look at how they could line-up against Wales with changes expected for this one...
1. GK: Jordan Pickford
He has been linked with a move to Chelsea over recent times.
2. RB: Kyle Walker
The former Spurs man could be handed a start in this one.
3. CB: John Stones
He has played both matches so far against Iran and USA.
4. CB: Harry Maguire
The former Hull City and Leicester City man has impressed so far in Qatar.
