Lithuania v England - FIFA 2018 World Cup Qualifier
England will have to up their game in the World Cup

Forwards

Manchester City v Leicester City - Premier League
Sterling will surely be one of the brightest players in this side

On the left flank, we got with the man who is in red-hot form, Raheem Sterling. The Manchester City winger is blisteringly quick and reads the game very well. He is also great with the ball at his feet. Sterling has 15 goals and 6 assists to his name in the league so far. The 23-year-old has also created more than 41 chances for Pep's side. Sterling seems to be the perfect choice for the wide position.

On the right flank, Southgate can utilize Jesse Lingard. The Manchester United star has been playing exceptionally well for Mourinho. Lingard has been directly involved in 11 goals in the league so far. He is a brilliant dribbler and a great passer of the ball. He also possesses an 87% pass completion rate apart from the 21 chances he has created.

Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Harry Kane is in the form of his life

Finally, we have Harry Kane in the striker's spot. This man is arguably one of the best strikers in the world right now. He has scored 30 goals combined in the Premier League and Champions League already. Southgate can blindly trust Kane for doing the job for his team and Kane would also be hoping to maintain his amazing goal-scoring run till the World Cup in June.

Marcus Rashford can be a great backup for any position in the final third and Jamie Vardy can help out in the centre-forward spot.
