Missing out: Tom Heaton
Injured: Jack Butland
With relatively little competition for places between the sticks, we let Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas choose our three goalkeepers rather than conduct a public vote. He believes Roy Hodgson will opt for the tried-and-trusted trio of Joe Hart, Fraser Forster and Ben Foster in the absence of the injured Jack Butland.
DEFENDERS
Selected: Chris Smalling, Danny Rose, Nathaniel Clyne, Gary Cahill, John Stones, Kyle Walker, Ryan Bertrand, Phil Jagielka
Missing out: Luke Shaw, Leighton Baines, Phil Jones, Jon Flanagan, Kieran Gibbs, Calum Chambers, Glen Johnson
Sky Sports users voted Manchester United's Chris Smalling as their number one choice in defence with Chelsea's Gary Cahill the second most popular central defender. Everton duo John Stones and Phil Jagielka have been chosen by the public to provide cover.
Tottenham's Danny Rose is the top choice at left-back with Southampton's Ryan Bertrand the preferred understudy, while Liverpool's Nathaniel Clyne is the top pick for right-back with Tottenham's Kyle Walker also making the squad.
Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw could be fit in time, but Sky Sports users have deemed him to much of a risk to be included.
MIDFIELDERS
Selected: Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Danny Drinkwater, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson
Missing out: Jack Wilshere, Michael Carrick, Andros Townsend, Fabian Delph, Jonjo Shelvey, Ryan Mason
Injured: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Sky Sports' users voted for Tottenham duo Dele Alli and Eric Dier as the most popular choices in midfield with 97 per cent of respondents supporting the inclusion of Alli.
Also making the cut are Liverpool trio Adam Lallana, James Milner and Jordan Henderson, Man City's Raheem Sterling, Everton's Ross Barkley and Leicester's Danny Drinkwater.
Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, who has played just 72 minutes of Premier League football due to injury this season, was only the ninth most popular candidate
Newspaper reports have suggested Hodgson is planning to take Wilshere to France this summer, but when asked if they were for or against his inclusion, 59 per cent of respondents said they would be against his selection.
STRIKERS
Selected: Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Daniel Sturridge, Wayne Rooney
Missing out: Jermain Defoe, Andy Carroll, Marcus Rashford, Theo Walcott
Injured: Danny Welbeck, Danny Ings
Tottenham's Harry Kane and Leicester's Jamie Vardy are in the hunt to become the Premier League's top scorer this season and of those who cast votes in our poll, more than 97% want to see them both included in Roy Hodgson's squad.
England captain Wayne Rooney is only the fourth most popular striker choice among our readers, but would be included along with Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge.
If Hodgson wants to take a fifth striker - or if one of those four gets injured - then in-form Sunderland veteran Jermain Defoe is the next most popular option.
But it's bad news for Arsenal's Theo Walcott who was the least popular striker choice. Of those who voted, almost 83% were against his inclusion.
