Harry Maguire, Lewis Hall, Adam Wharton, Eberechi Eze, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Danny Welbeck. The first three have been established since Maguire fell away from the England scene, but he is now back and has proved his worth and strength of character. Maguire is my selection ahead of Newcastle United's Dan Burn, who has struggled on his England appearances. Newcastle United's Lewis Hall is a natural left-back, which will be of value, and he showed his quality in a lively cameo against Japan. Mainoo has been revitalised under Michael Carrick at Manchester United after being marginalised by former head coach Ruben Amorim.
