Gareth Southgate has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to picking his England team to face France in the World Cup quarter-finals tonight... so who will be the odd ones out?
With Argentina set to face Croatia in the first of the two confirmed semi-final ties, England or France will take on either Portugal or Morocco in the other last-four spot. England started slowly in their last-16 match with Senegal, but once the Three Lions got going they cruised to a comprehensive 3-0 victory on Sunday night to set up a mouth-watering tie with world champions France on Saturday night. Southgate only made one change from the starting XI which beat Wales 3-0, but it was a big one: Marcus Rashford scored twice against the Welsh to take his tally for the finals to three goals, but the Manchester United forward was ruthlessly dropped as Bukayo Saka returned.
While Saka starred in the opener vs Iran, the Arsenal forward was quiet against USA and lost out to Rashford for the Wales match. However, it speaks to the options that Southgate has that Saka returned with an excellent display against the Senegalese, scoring to take his finals tally to three and proving a constant menace.
