Bukayo Saka has kept his place in the England starting XI ahead of their Euro 2020 round of 16 crunch match against Germany.

The Three Lions look set to revert to a back three to match the system their opponents at Wembley have used all tournament.

Harry Maguire, John Stones and Kyle Walker have been selected as centre-backs, while Kieran Trippier and Luke Shaw are playing right and left wing-back respectively. In midfield Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips have been chosen.

They will play behind a front three of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Saka. This leaves England with an extremely strong bench with Jack Grealish, Mason Mount, Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are capable of changing the game.

There is no place in the 23-man squad for Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Ben Chilwell, while Arsenal target Ben White is also not on the bench.
