For the second game running, Luke Shaw was restricted to a substitute appearance in the semi-final beating of the Netherlands, replacing Kieran Trippier at the half-time interval.

It has now been almost five months since the Manchester United man started a competitive match, but having come through two cameos unscathed, a start on Sunday is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Southgate has always been one to talk up Trippier's contributions, but a fully-fit Shaw will surely be his first pick on the left-hand side, and the remainder of England's XI should remain untouched.

Now the highest European scorer in the history of men's major tournament knockout matches, Harry Kane - also chasing the Euro 2024 Golden Boot - dons the armband, despite Ollie Watkins's magical semi-final moment in Dortmund.

Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden have been final-third mainstays throughout the competition, and that will not change at the Olympiastadion, while Bukayo Saka's spot at right wing-back is also safe.

Fresh from becoming the youngest Englishman to start a major tournament semi-final, Kobbie Mainoo continues his partnership with Declan Rice, who was at fault for Xavi Simons's stunning opener in midweek.

Having come straight back in for Ezri Konsa after his quarter-final ban, Marc Guehi reprises his rearguard role alongside John Stones and Kyle Walker, as Jordan Pickford barks orders to his three-man defensive wall.

England possible starting lineup:

Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Shaw; Bellingham, Foden; Kane
