This area of the pitch is probably where England have the most depth.
At one point you could have predicted that Southgate’s front three would be Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford.
However, with Rashford’s form and fitness with Manchester United being up and down, the left side of England’s attack is up for grabs.
Rashford was the player who brought electric pace to the England attack and, even when playing poorly, that ability to run in behind teams meant his place was safe.
However, Phil Foden has had the best season of his career – often played on the left – and it would be very hard for Southgate to leave him out.
Anthony Gordon has also had an excellent season for Newcastle and made his England debut in March. His work-rate and discipline is a big plus for him, as is his ability to run beyond the last defender.
Jack Grealish is another who missed the last international camp. He’s been in and out of the Manchester City side in another dominant campaign for them, but may have slipped down the pecking order for England. He’s been an important impact player for his country though, and played a big role in Euro 2020.
Cole Palmer must also be a consideration. He’s scored 22 Premier League goals this season and been Chelsea’s standout player. He also had a 100% penalty conversion rate and that could be another factor for Southgate as he plans for the knockout part of the tournament.
