Italy have gone 33 games unbeaten under Mancini, and they have already seen off the world’s No.1 ranked side Belgium as well as Spain at Euro 2020. Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice should get the nod at the base of midfield, as they have done for every single one of England’s games so far. Further forward, though, England may need the ingenuity of Jack Grealish to unlock Italy’s stubborn defence and compact three in midfield. The captain, leader and hero Kane has hauled England to the final with some invaluable contributions along the way, despite a slow start to the tournament. Although his future at Tottenham is up in the air, there will be no doubt in his mind that he can lead England to Euro 2020 glory this summer.
