For all the talk about Bellingham and Foden, England’s most important players are Pickford, Stones, Rice and Kane. They got England to the World Cup, and any success will be built on them.

That is a much-changed England team. Seven changes from Thursday night. Dean Henderson, Quansah, Burn, Wharton, Bowen, Bellingham and Eze all come in.

It feels like seven of the spots in the England team for the World Cup are taken now. So who do you have at left-back, centre-back (alongside Stones), left wing and no10?

Thomas Frank survives his potential Nuno moment. My piece on the continuities and discontinuities between now and four years ago.

Tottenham v Manchester United for me today. Richarlison AND Kolo Muani! Bentinha broken up - Bentancur on the bench! Spence rather than Udogie!
