Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has revealed the England starting line-up he would pick for their opening Euro 2020 game with Croatia.
Gareth Southgate is still finalising his squad ahead of this summer's tournament, with places up for grabs and some big decisions to be made.
On paper, England have quality throughout their squad, with the likes of Chelsea's Mason Mount and Manchester City's Phil Foden making huge strides over the course of the the season.
But there are still some fitness concerns - not least over Liverpool's midfield lynchpin Jordan Henderson.
The former Sunderland star has been out since February with a groin injury, and faces a race to prove his fitness.
However Shearer, who not only captain England but scored 30 goals in 63 appearances for his country, feels if he can demonstrate he is fit, then Henderson is a starter, along with club team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.
England get their Euro 2020 campaign under way against Croatia at Wembley on June 13, and Shearer debated the starting line-up with fellow ex-internationals Gary Lineker, Ian Wright and Ashley Cole at half-time during Saturday's FA Cup final.
Here's what they had to say.
ALAN SHEARER: I went for Pickford in goal and then obviously the back four, and there's going to be a big decision for Gareth to make in his squad in terms of the right-back position because of the quality we've got in that decision. Alexander-Arnold would be the one I would go for.
GARY LINEKER: Henderson's not played for a long time, Alan.
SHEARER: I know he hasn't but he's got another couple of weeks to try and prove his fitness which he'll have to do because I don't think the manager will be prepared to take too many gambles having been in that position himself before. Mount, as we said before the game, I think he is a guaranteed starter, as with Foden I am hoping because of the ability of those two. Harry Kane and Sterling as well.
Shearer's England starting XI
IAN WRIGHT: I kind of want to put Kalvin Phillips there because we haven't seen enough of Henderson. I'd put Kalvin Phillips there. I'd have Trent in there as well.
ASHLEY COLE: The quality of players that Gareth has at his disposal is unbelievable. We didn't even talk about Reece James. Could you play three at the back with Reece playing and Trent a little bit further up the pitch? Mount, Foden, Jadon Sancho too - so much quality there so it is going to be a headache but what a problem for Gareth to have!
