England vs Germany - Combined XI | UEFA Euro 2020

Right Wing-back: Joshua Kimmich (Germany)

Joshua Kimmich is a vital cog in Germany's wheel.

An underrated operator in Germany's star-studded squad, Joshua Kimmich is the glue that binds the team together.

Technically gifted and supremely intelligent, the Bayern Munich ace possesses the ability to create chances out of nowhere with his long balls and has an eye for space. His prowess at set-pieces brings another layer of threat, which England will have to deal with.

Defensive Midfielder: Kalvin Phillips (England)

Kalvin Phillips has been a revelation for England

Leon Goretzka could've made for a good choice too, but Kalvin Phillips has everyone talking about him, thanks to his top-notch displays.

His assist for Raheem Sterling in the opening game remains one of the finest at Euro 2020, as it demonstrated his ability to dribble through tight spaces. Phillips is tough to dispossess as well, something Germany will have to be wary of.

Left Wing-back: Robin Gosens (Germany)

Germany's biggest surprise of their Euro 2020 campaign thus far

Is there any left-back/ left midfielder/ left wing-back who's been even remotely close to Robin Gosens at Euro 2020?

The Atalanta star is in irresistible form, wreaking havoc down his flank with his piercing runs and incredible crosses. As was seen against Portugal, Gosens can be a huge aerial threat too, with an eye for goal in set-piece situations.

Attacking Midfielder: Thomas Muller (Germany)

Thomas Muller is still Germany's best creator.

No player can hold a candle to Thomer Muller's spatial intelligence. He can find spaces in opposition defences with devastating effect, something he has shown at Euro 2020 too.

It's a shame that he hasn't scored or assisted yet. So Muller will hope to correct the anomaly against a team he has tormented in the past.
