Lee Carsley, England’s interim manager, is about to unveil his first team lineup as the Three Lions take on the Republic of Ireland.
Expect some exciting changes, like Trent Alexander-Arnold returning to right-back after his stint in midfield for Euro 2024. This selection could be Carsley’s audition for the permanent gig, with Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire making a comeback after missing out in the summer.
In midfield, Grealish will team up with Declan Rice, who once played for Ireland before switching to England. Manchester United’s rising star, Kobbie Mainoo, joins them in the center.
At the back, Marc Guehi keeps his spot after a solid Euros, partnering with Chelsea’s Levi Colwill at left-back. With Alexander-Arnold back in his comfort zone, the debate over his position rages on, but he’s ready to shine for Liverpool.
In goal, Jordan Pickford is set to retain his place, despite increasing competition. Up front, England’s attack looks sharp, with captain Harry Kane and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka holding their spots. Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, who thrived under Carsley for the U21s, is ready to make his mark.
Will Carsley’s squad deliver the goods, or is this shake-up too much?
