Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how England could line up for Tuesday's Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy.

England head coach Gareth Southgate will welcome back a selection of experienced internationals for Tuesday's Euro 2024 qualifier versus Italy at Wembley.

Needing just one more victory in Group C to guarantee a spot in next year's Finals, England came through Friday's friendly win over Australia with no fresh injury concerns to add to Bukayo Saka's withdrawal.

While Australia are no pushovers and more than proved so on the night, Southgate placed his faith in an experimental England team but will revert to type this week, starting with Sam Johnstone dropping out for undisputed number one Jordan Pickford.

John Stones's hip problem has now fully healed, so the Manchester City man is in contention to link up with Three Lions regular Harry Maguire, who continues to play a key role for his country despite remaining on the fringes of the Manchester United team.

Kalvin Phillips is in the same boat as Maguire over at the Etihad, and given Trent Alexander-Arnold's midfield exploits on Friday, the Liverpool man could be given the nod alongside Declan Rice, who will displace vilified captain Jordan Henderson.

Alexander-Arnold's inclusion in the middle would allow Kyle Walker to charge down the right-hand side, while Levi Colwill debuted on the left in Friday's friendly amid a distinct lack of options, but Kieran Trippier's fresh legs may now be preferred.

Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins combined for the latter to tap home the decisive goal against Australia, but Marcus Rashford and 59-goal skipper Harry Kane - who became England's all-time leading scorer against Italy back in March - are set for recalls to the final third alongside Phil Foden and Real Madrid hotshot Jude Bellingham.

England possible starting lineup: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier; Alexander-Arnold, Rice; Foden, Bellingham, Rashford; Kane
