Well, Jordan Pickford is retained as No 1, no change in goal despite some calls for Crystal Palace’s Dean Henderson.

Even with Kyle Walker’s lack of form for Manchester City earlier in the season, before his move to Milan, his international experience sees him preferred to Reece James, who excelled under Tuchel at Chelsea.

Burn, 32, another of those ‘leaders’, and Konsa are picked ahead of perhaps better-suited duo Colwill and Guehi, with Curtis Jones considered the ideal foil to Rice in the midfield double pivot.

Excitingly, Arsenal tyro Myles Lewis-Skelly is given an opportunity at left-back rather than Newcastle’s Tino Livramento, who locked down Mo Salah in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup win against Liverpool on Sunday.

Foden and Rashford are perhaps fortunate to be picked on the wings, largely for what they have done previously in their careers, ahead of the in-form Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers. Captain Kane, of course, plays up top.
