A Boxing Day packed full of Premier League fixtures highlighted one thing in particular about England's future - it's bright.
From Trent Alexander-Arnold's sensational display for Liverpool against Leicester City to the array of up and coming England youngsters getting their chances across the top tier, it's enough to provoke plenty of excitement.
Former England star Gary Lineker provided that on Friday afternoon when he reeled off a list of reasons for fans to be excited and that came in the form of an outstanding list of quality young players.
Naturally some of those on Lineker's list play for the likes of top London side Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs.
In a New Year message of sorts, Lineker hailed Arsenal's Reiss Nelson, Chelsea's Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James plus Spurs' Ryan Sessegnon.
Lineker also threw West Ham United's Declan Rice into the mix and Jadon Sancho, who has heavily been linked with Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window.
Lineker tweeted: "Never felt more bullish about England's future: Trent, Wan-Bissaka, Foden, Mount, Greenwood, Rashford, Rice, Maddison, James, Gomez, Barnes, Sancho, Longstaff, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi, Nelson, Chilwell, Sessegnon...and more. Won’t all crack it, but what an array of talent. HNY."
It's safe to say that 2020 will be bright for England.
