England will lock horns with the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night, hoping to pick up a positive result and secure a place in the knockout stages of Euro 2020. The Three Lions will be coming into the match on the back of a 0-0 stalemate versus Scotland, whereas Jaroslav Silhavy’s men recorded a 1-1 draw against Croatia. Gareth Southgate will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game. Jack Grealish might get the nod over Raheem Sterling, whereas Kyle Walker looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven. Below is the 4-3-3 England Predicted Lineup Vs Czech Republic.
4-3-3 England Predicted Lineup Vs Czech Republic
Defence
Jordan Pickford is expected to start in goal for the upcoming home encounter. The Everton shot-stopper would be looking to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Tuesday.
Harry Maguire might replace Tyrone Mings to form the centre-half partnership with John Stones at the heart of England’s backline.
Kyle Walker is a guaranteed starter at the right-back position, whereas Luke Shaw will continue to feature as the left-back. The duo would be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.
Kieran Trippier will have to settle for a place on the bench but could be brought on in the latter stages of the game if needed.
Midfield
Kalvin Phillips is expected to start in the central midfield position, whereas Declan Rice will slot in as the defensive midfielder. The former put up a brilliant performance against Croatia on Match Day 1 as he dominated the midfield proceedings and even bagged an assist.
Mason Mount remains a sure-fire starter for England this week, and it’ll be an understatement to say The Three Lions will be highly dependent on the Chelsea star’s creative work if they wish to pick up a positive result in their final game of the group stage.
Attack
Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing respectively.
Harry Kane is expected to lead the line for the hosts against the Czech Republic. The 27-year-old has failed to impress in any of the last two games; however, he’ll hope to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Czech defence that has conceded just one goal in their last two matches.
Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford will have to settle for a place on the bench, but they could come on in the second half if needed.
