England starting line-up v France ‘leaked’: Huge calls made on Newcastle United & Chelsea stars

England take on France for a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup - but who will Gareth Southgate name in his starting XI?

The Three Lions boss has been consistent with his 4-3-3 formation, though has gone with different personnel over the last two games.

As a result, Newcastle United right-back Kieran Trippier has dropped out for wins against Wales in the group and Senegal in the last 16. Callum Wilson and Nick Pope have also been named among the subsitutes.

However, with France and Kylian Mbappe to keep quiet, Southgate may well consider a switch to a back five, meaning a likely return for Trippier.

Here’s England’s ‘leaked’ starting line-up - based on what’s being reported.
