Leaked England team hints at Southgate's decision on Trippier and Wilson ahead of Wales clash

Newcastle United duo Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson could be forced to settle for spots on the bench for England's final World Cup group fixture against Wales. The leaked Three Lions starting eleven suggests Gareth Southgate is set to make at least two changes following the frustrating draw with the USA.

England sit top of Group B ahead of the final round of matches on Tuesday evening, and victory over their neighbours will secure top spot. Southgate's side will still qualify providing they avoid a four-goal defeat against their neighbours, who themselves need a victory and a draw between Iran and the USA to progress.

Trippier has started the first two fixtures for England on the right of a back four, with Newcastle team-mates Nick Pope and Wilson among the substitutes. However, the lineup for the clash with Wales according to Telegraph Sport suggests the 32-year-old's place might be at risk.
