Paul Merson gives Mason Mount, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka verdict for England vs Senegal

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has admitted that he would like to see Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount start in England's World Cup round of 16 clash against Senegal on Sunday whilst also giving a verdict on whether Manchester City's Phil Foden and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka should also be handed starts.

Mount started the Three Lions' first two group matches in a midfield three alongside Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham but was an unused substitute for the final match, a 3-0 victory over fellow Home Nation Wales.

Manager Gareth Southgate has regularly relied on the 23-year-old given his impressive work rate and ability to break the lines and Merson would like to see the Chelsea man return to the England line up.
