England Playing XI leaked for Euro 2024 Final as Gareth Southgate continues to snub Watkins and Shaw

The Three Lions have not lifted a major international trophy since 1966, and a win in Berlin would spark nationwide celebrations.

England manager Gareth Southgate has opted for continuity over change as he prepares his side for the UEFA Euro 2024 final against Spain. Despite calls from fans for Ollie Watkins and Luke Shaw to start, the leaked team sheet suggests Southgate will field an unchanged lineup from the semi-final victory over the Netherlands.

Fans divided over England Playing XI

The decision to stick with the same starting eleven as per The Sun has divided opinion among supporters. While some have praised Southgate for his faith in the team that has brought them to the final, others have questioned the manager’s reluctance to freshen up the side.

Ollie Watkins and Luke Shaw on bench

Southgate’s approach is likely influenced by the impact of his substitutes in recent games. Players like Ollie Watkins and Luke Shaw have made crucial contributions from the bench, suggesting that the manager believes he can maintain momentum and introduce fresh legs when needed.

England journey to Euro 2024 Final

England’s journey to the final has been a remarkable one, and a victory over Spain would be a historic moment for the nation. The Three Lions have not lifted a major international trophy since 1966, and a win in Berlin would spark nationwide celebrations.

However, standing in their way is a formidable Spanish side who have been the standout team of the tournament. Southgate and his players will need to be at their best to overcome the 2010 world champions.

Predicted England Playing XI in Euro 2024 Final

England’s expected XI (3-4-2-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Foden, Bellingham; Kane.
