EURO 2020 Qualifiers: How England should line up against Czech Republic

Midfielders:

Rice recently chose to represent England instead of Ireland

Starter - CM - Dele Alli

Alli can be the spark that turns a game for England, particularly when they are playing opposition who will be looking to nullify the attacking threat. While Southgate may choose to use him as a substitute option, All would be a great pick to start on Friday.

Starter - CM - Declan Rice

Much has been made of Rice's decision to represent England over Ireland. But now that he has made his decision, he should be allowed to let his performances do the talking. It would be a bold move chucking the youngster straight into the starting XI but one I feel he's earned given his exceptional performances in the Premier League.

Bench - Ross Barkley

Barkley has seen increased playing time at Chelsea recently but has not done enough to secure a starting spot just yet.

Bench - Eric Dier

The versatile defensive-minded option may well find himself starting on Friday. While there are more exciting players available, it may be Dier's defensive talents that secure him a start.

Bench - Jordan Henderson

While Henderson was exceptional at the World Cup, he's been a little less impressive this season with Liverpool and therefore might not appear for the Three Lions on Friday.

Bench - James Ward-Prowse

Ward-Prowse is a man in form in the Premier League. While he is likely too unproven to command a starting spot against the Czech Republic, it would be great to see him get some minutes late on.
