Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson appears set to miss out once again on a starting spot in the England team.
The Three Lions take on Italy this evening in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium, in what is their first major final in more than 55 years.
Gareth Southgate’s side claimed an extra time victory over Denmark in their semi-final, while Italy needed a penalty shootout to beat Spain in their last match.
With kick-off just a few hours away, various reports are emerging claiming to know which starting line-up Southgate will go with.
According to The Telegraph, there will be one change to the team that beat Denmark earlier this week.

The report says that Kieran Trippier, who came off the bench in the semi-final, will be introduced in place of Bukayo Saka.
Trippier is expected to take a place at left-back, with Southgate reverting to a three-man defence as opposed to a 4-3-3 which has been used in the previous two matches.
This would mean that Henderson, who has failed to start a single match for England at the tournament, once again misses out and would have to rely on a substitute appearance.
Despite only making four cameo appearances at the Euros, Henderson has one goal to his name which came in the convincing 4-0 victory over Ukraine in the quarter-final.
Everton keeperJordan Pickford, who has had an excellent tournament, is set to be the only representative of the two city clubs in the final starting eleven.
Reported England line-up vs Italy: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Trippier; Rice, Phillips, Mount; Sterling, Kane.
