England vs Germany team news: Southgate changes tactics for Euro 2020 crunch tie

Gareth Southgate changed his tactics and went with a back three for England's crunch Euro 2020 clash against Germany at Wembley.

The last 16 encounter saw Southgate name Jack Grealish on the bench and Kieran Tripper return to the team.

England kept faith with Bukayo Saka after impressing against the Czech Republic last week and Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane offered threats in the final third.

Mason Mount was on the bench but Ben Chilwell didn't make it after the pair underwent isolation following a brush with Covid.

It looks like a 3-4-3 formation for Southgate and his Three Lions.
