England will lock horns with Germany at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday evening, hoping to pick up a positive result and secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Euro 2020 tournament. The Three Lions will be coming into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Czech Republic, whereas Joachim Low’s men recorded a thrilling 2-2 draw against Hungary.
Gareth Southgate will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game as Mason Mount and Phil Foden look likely to make their way back into the starting eleven.
4-3-3 England Predicted Lineup Vs Germany
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 will continue 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 duo would be determined to put up a strong performance and dominate the midfield proceedings against Germany on Tuesday.
Mason Mount remains a sure-fire starter 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.
Attack
Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will take up the wide positions, playing on the right and left-wing respectively.
Harry Kane is expected to lead the line for the hosts against Germany. The 27-year-old has failed to impress in any of the last three games; however, he’ll hope to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the German defence that has conceded five goals in their last three 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.
