Mason Mount has regularly been one of the first names on Gareth Southgate's teamsheet for England, and has been tipped to continue his impressive form despite criticism from some quarters.
The Chelsea man has been a regular for club and country since breaking through at Stamford Bridge. He was a big part of the Blues squad which won the Champions League under Thomas Tuchel in 2021, before helping his national side reach the final of the European Championships that same summer.
That hasn't stopped some critics taking aim, though, with the 23-year-old appearing to gain teacher's pet status among some. However, former England international Adam Lallana - another man to garner such a reputation in the past - doesn't see that as a bad thing.
