England will face France in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday, but would you make changes to the starting XI?
Gareth Southgate has selection headaches in almost all areas of the pitch, with Marcus Rashford, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Jack Grealish competing for starting berths to support Harry Kane - while Raheem Sterling has returned to Qatar after his family home was burgled.
In midfield, Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice impressed once again in the 3-0 win over Senegal, with Mason Mount and Kalvin Phillips looking to regain their place in the side - while James Maddison has returned to full training and is in line for his first appearance at the tournament.
There are also question marks over whether England should stick or twist with their 4-3-3 formation or revert to three at the back - to safeguard against Kylian Mbappe's pace - with Kyle Walker tipped to go toe-to-toe with the French forward.
