UEFA Nations League: Netherlands vs England - Combined XI

Left winger: Raheem Sterling (England)

Sterling's barnstorming run earned him the PFA Young Player of the Prize

If you thought you saw the best of Raheem Sterling last season, then you're probably wrong. With 25 goals and 18 assists in all competitions, he has only gone a step further this time and would probably be licking his lips at the prospect of adding more to that tally and play a starring role for England now.

Right winger: Jadon Sancho (England)

Jadon Sancho is a star in the making

Bundesliga’s breakout star of the season, Jadon Sancho has already emerged as one of the hottest young English prospects. He took the season by storm and registered 12 goals and 17 assists to put Borussia Dortmund to within touching distance of the Bundesliga title. The 19-year old turned heads with his lightning-fast speed and eye-catching trickery on the ball, and he can be the talisman to England’s fortunes in the UEFA Nations League.

Striker: Memphis Depay (Netherlands)

Despite falling short of last season's heroics, Depay had a good season with Lyon

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford had an encouraging season at a personal level, but he misses out on a spot here to his Dutch counterpart and former Red Devils flop Memphis Depay, who posted fairly better figures than him with Lyon.

With 12 goals and 16 assists in all competitions, Depay racked up another brilliant season with the French outfit as he continues to rebuild his career. He helped the Oranje progress to the semi-finals with crucial strikes against Germany and France, whilst also netting thrice in a pair of Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Harry Kane also misses the cut, following his lacklustre display in the Champions League final.
