Glen Hoddle believes starting with Harry Maguire at the World Cup would be a "risk" as Gareth Southgate prepares to make a big call on his centre-half.
The Manchester United defender has been a favourite under the current boss, but has endured a tough time since the Euro 2020 final. He has fallen out of favour at club level and his lack of match sharpness was evident in the latest round of international matches, when he made several errors against Germany.
Southgate has been loyal to his stalwarts but could cop major criticism if Maguire, who isn't getting minutes, makes an error in one of England's group games. John Stones, Eric Dier and Ben White present different options and all could play in a back three with Betfair ambassador Hoddle apprehensive about Maguire's inclusion.
