England's Euro 2024 Squad: Who Will Start Against Serbia?

Gareth Southgate has named his final 26-player England squad for Euro 2024

With less than two weeks to go until England's opening match of Euro 2024, Gareth Southgate has named his final 26-player squad for the tournament. The Three Lions will face Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia in Group B, and Southgate has a number of big decisions to make ahead of the tournament opener on June 16.

Who will start in goal for England?

Jordan Pickford has been England's number one goalkeeper for the past five years, but he has come under increasing pressure from Nick Pope and Dean Henderson in recent months. Pickford made a number of high-profile mistakes during England's Nations League campaign, and Southgate could be tempted to drop him for the Euros.

Who will start in defense for England?

Harry Maguire and John Stones are Southgate's preferred center-back pairing, but both players have been in poor form for Manchester United and Manchester City, respectively, in recent months. Fikayo Tomori and Marc Guehi have been in impressive form for AC Milan and Crystal Palace, respectively, and could be in contention to start at Euro 2024.

Who will start in midfield for England?

Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips are Southgate's preferred midfield pairing, but both players have been struggling with injuries in recent months. Jude Bellingham and Jordan Henderson are the most likely replacements for Rice and Phillips, but Southgate could also opt to play with a more attacking midfield three, with Mason Mount and Phil Foden joining Bellingham in the center of the park.

Who will start in attack for England?

Harry Kane is England's captain and talisman, and he will start up front for the Three Lions at Euro 2024. Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka are also likely to start in attack, but Southgate has a number of other options to choose from, including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Phil Foden.
