Before the introduction, I hope each game will disappear, as the first three excursions in Germany three lions look completely average. Although they did not have too much pressure on protection, disconnected offensive units and negative tactical methods in England. A match against Group E's third-placed Slovakia would normally be an attractive proposition, but the pessimism surrounding England is palpable at the moment. Gareth Southgate has been criticized for his team's performance and line-up selection in matches, but the 53-year-old has rarely succumbed to outside pressure. He could easily make a change for England against Slovakia, especially after witnessing how difficult life was for Belgium against them in a 1-0 group stage loss, and that change could come in front of the defence.

However, the Slovakian front line is unlikely to scare the Manchester City star.

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford - Pickford delivered on his promise with two clean sheets and some strong saves in the group stage. England's goalkeeper will get busier as the game progresses.

RB: Kyle Walker - The Manchester City defender was not immune to criticism at Euro 2024, but at least he provided some attacking power down the right wing. He set up Harry Kane's attack with powerful forward runs against Serbia, while the more creative Trent Alexander-Arnold had little chance of replacing him against Slovakia.

CB: John Stone - With a total of seven goals in Group C, it's fair to say that Stone hasn't been tested too often in this competition. However, the Slovakian front line is unlikely to scare the Manchester City star.

CB: Marc Guehi - England's strongest performer at Euro 2024, and by quite some margin, Guehi has been brilliant at the back. The 23-year-old has been magnificent considering it\'s his first major international tournament.

LB: Kieran Trippier - While Luke Shaw is set to return, it could be a big ask for the Manchester United defender to step straight back into the starting XI after four months out. Therefore, the much-maligned Trippier should retain his place - if fit enough

. CM: Coby Mainoo - After only playing as a substitute, Mainoo could partner Declan Rice in midfield. Experiments with Conor Gallagher and Alexander-Arnold have failed and Mainoo deserved a chance from the start.

CM: Declan Rice - Finding his perfect partner in the dual turn has proved difficult, but it is no brand against his name. If only England had Kalvin Phillips, what? RM: Bukayo Saka - One of the most active members of England's misfiring front line, we're still waiting for Saka to break out at Euro 2024. winning goal in the opening game.

AM: Jude Bellingham - After winning at the end of the first round as a player of the tournament, Bellingham's subsequent performance was very poor. England need him to step up in the playoffs.

LM: Phil Foot -Lovenia, but after all it is still blunt. If Southgate pulls the trigger, Col Palmer and Anthony Gordon want to get opportunities.

St: Harry Kane -Few players have received more sticks than the captain of England, they have always been invalid. Bayern Munich stars have almost no ninth position, and Ollie Watkins (Ollie Watkins) breathes his throat.
