Gareth Southgate has revealed he picked his team to face France last Monday.
The England boss looks set to pick an unchanged line-up against the World Cup holders with a back four and Harry Kane leading the attack. Southgate has enjoyed keeping the players guessing and they have tried to keep the starting XI a hotly-guarded secret, but there will be no surprises among the management set-up.
England are ready to go toe-to-toe with France despite their attacking might in the form of Kylian Mbappe. Southgate said: “We decided [the starting XI] on Monday. We’d already watched by Monday night all the games of France, we’d already reviewed our game from Senegal.
