England ‘leaked’ XI vs France: decisions made on two ex-Sheffield United stars - gallery

England vs France will kick off at 7pm today

England are set to take on France in today’s World Cup quarter-final, with Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire both in contention to start. The former Sheffield United pair were both included in the starting XI in their 3-0 win over Senegal.

The Three Lions are facing arguably their toughest test over the past few World Cups but will be feeling confident with the likes of Brazil, Germany and Spain already knocked out of the tournament. France are now one of the hot favourites to lift the trophy next weekend after winning it four years ago.

Gareth Southgate has a huge task on his hands to lead the team to a win this evening and has had to solve the dilemma of which formation to play, as well as deciding on his front three - with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish all staking their claim for a starting spot.

The Telegraph have ‘leaked’ England’s XI ahead of tonight’s game and we have taken a look at how the Three Lions could set up.
