With less than three months to go, at least half of England's starting lineup for its opening match of the World Cup remains uncertain. For the World Cup qualifying win over Slovenia on Oct. 5 that clinched England a spot in Russia, only five starters were first-choice at their clubs: Walker, Bertrand, Dier, Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane. Consequently, Southgate is going to have to rely on a number of players who won't exactly be match-sharp for the World Cup. These are the last friendlies before Southgate names his World Cup squad and one good 90-minute display could be all it takes. Maguire is the other option and is looking increasingly like a World Cup starter, with Chris Smalling and the experienced Gary Cahill not currently in Southgate's thoughts.
