England boss Gareth Southgate drew praise for mirroring Germany’s formation in Tuesday’s game, but this will be a different kettle of fish.

Ukraine also play with wing-backs but with the pressure on his team to control the game, it will be interesting to see whether Southgate opts for three central defenders again, or whether he sacrifices a bit of defensive solidity to get an extra attacker into his team.

It could be a fascinating tactical battle either way.

The West Ham man can be very dangerous when cutting inside onto his left foot, and perhaps he’ll be extra motivated to get one over on an England team full of Premier League cohorts.
