For Chris Sutton, two changes are in order. He would bring in Luke Shaw and Marc Guehi for Kieran Trippier and Ezri Konsa, keeping the same 3-4-3 formation that Southgate employed against Switzerland. Sutton believes this lineup gives England the best chance to advance to the final.

Chris Sutton’s Starting XI: Ramsdale; James, Stones, Guehi, Shaw, Rice, Bellingham; Mount, Sterling, Saka; Kane

Oliver Holt’s Starting XI

Oliver Holt would also bring in Shaw and Guehi, but he goes a step further by suggesting Southgate drop Kane in favor of Ivan Toney. While acknowledging that this would be a bold move, Holt points out that Kane appears to be far from his best form and that Toney has been impressive off the bench.

Ian Ladyman’s Starting XI

Ian Ladyman agrees with sticking to the 3-4-3 formation, but he would make just one change to the starting eleven. He suggests giving Cole Palmer a chance in place of Phil Foden, who has failed to find his best form in the tournament so far. Ladyman keeps faith in Kane, believing he is the best center forward in Europe despite his underwhelming performances.

Craig Hope’s Starting XI

Craig Hope takes a different approach, switching back to a 4-3-3 formation. He would drop Foden for Anthony Gordon, who has been waiting patiently for his chance. Hope also advocates for the controversial decision to bench Kane, arguing that his lack of form is hurting the team. Hope believes Toney deserves a start after his impressive substitute appearances.

Craig Hope’s Starting XI: Ramsdale; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Guehi, Shaw; Rice, Bellingham, Mount; Saka, Toney, Sterling

Mike Keegan’s Starting XI

Mike Keegan also opts for a back four, but his lineup has a different look. He would give Trent Alexander-Arnold the nod over Kyle Walker at right-back, citing his superior attacking threat. Keegan would also bench Foden in favor of Palmer, but he keeps faith in Kane to lead the line.

Mike Keegan’s Starting XI: Ramsdale; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Guehi, Shaw; Rice, Bellingham, Mount; Saka, Kane, Sterling

Sami Mokbel’s Starting XI

Sami Mokbel is the only expert who would keep the back three intact, with Guehi and Shaw coming in for Konsa and Trippier. He believes there were enough positive signs in the quarterfinal to persist with this formation. Mokbel keeps faith in Kane, who retains his place in the lineup.
