Pick your England starting XI to face Malta in Euro 2024 qualifying

June 15, 2023

Gareth Southgate and his England squad continue their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign against Malta on Friday, but what would your starting XI look like?

It's been a long season for the England players which included a mid-season World Cup, but they have two more assignments before they can embark on their summer holidays.

Gareth Southgate's side's bid to qualify for next summer's Euros in Germany continues with games against Malta on Friday and North Macedonia on Monday.

The England boss has a 23-man squad at his disposal, including Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze who recieved his first call-up.

Will he get a debut? Will Trent Alexander-Arnold get a chance to shine in England's midfield? Will England look at playing Alexander-Arnold and John Stones in the hybrid roles they performed in so well for Liverpool and Man City respectively? Will Harry Maguire keep his place in the starting XI? Is it time for experimenting at all or will Southgate stick with the tried and tested?

So, what would your England starting XI look like to face Malta? Use our interactive selector to pick your team below, screenshot your selections and share on Twitter @SkyFootball.
