Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has named Raheem Sterling as England's best performer at Euro 2020, following another starring display in the semi-final.
The Manchester City forward was integral once again for England in their 2-1 victory over Denmark, with his pressure resulting in Simon Kjaer's own-goal for the equaliser before he won the decisive penalty in extra time.
Sterling 's impact in Gareth Southgate's squad has been clear for all to see.
He opened the scoring in the round of 16 triumph against Germany, as well as scoring the only goals of the game in the group-stage triumphs over Croatia and the Czech Republic.
Carragher has now hailed Sterling's performances for England and highlighted him as one of three players on the teamsheet who are guaranteed to start.
What will be the final result for England vs Italy? Let us know y our thoughts in the comments below.
"I said this after the group games, I think Raheem Sterling has been England's best player by a long way," he told Sky Sports.
"There was a lot of talk going into the competition that his position in the team was up for grabs, which I couldn't understand because he has been outstanding for Gareth Southgate since the World Cup, over a two or three-year period.
"And especially the way Harry Kane is playing, coming deeper for the ball and trying to get on the ball, you have to have people making runs in behind and having pace in behind.
"I think before this tournament started, the two first names on the team sheet, if everyone was fit, would be Harry Kane and Harry Maguire - but now it has to be Raheem Sterling joining those two.
"It's not just Raheem Sterling in the England team - I think Harry Maguire has had a huge influence since he came back in, Harry Kane is now getting back to what we expect from him in terms of goals and performances.
"But I think Raheem Sterling, at this moment, has it to lose, shall we say."
