As the countdown begins to Euro 2028, the next major European Championship, speculation is growing about which players will start for England in the tournament. The event will be co-hosted by England, Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland, beginning on June 9, 2028. Despite being one of the host nations, England will still have to qualify for the tournament, as all host countries must earn their place through the qualification process. Experts have shared their predictions for England’s starting lineup. Phil McNulty expects some changes from the World Cup squad, but Jordan Pickford is likely to remain as goalkeeper, even at age 34. Trent Alexander-Arnold may start at right-back, though there are questions about manager Tuchel’s confidence in him. If fit, Tino Livramento could be preferred, while Jarrad Branthwaite and Marc Guehi might form a central defensive pair. In midfield, Adam Wharton is expected to take the place of Elliot Anderson, with Declan Rice as a definite starter. Jude Bellingham is anticipated to continue as a key player, and Harry Kane, nearing 35, is seen as a likely leader. Rio Ngumoha is predicted to become a regular by 2028. Other analysts have similar views. Sami Mokbel believes the squad will mostly remain the same as the World Cup team, with Morgan Rogers possibly competing with Anthony Gordon for a spot. The bench is expected to include younger players like Ngumoha, Alex Scott, Lewis Miley, and Max Dowman, who could provide fresh options during the tournament. John Murray suggests that the squad will not undergo major changes, given recent success. He expects James Trafford and Dean Henderson to challenge Pickford in goal, but Pickford’s experience may still secure his position. Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall, and Ben White could be in the running for full-back roles, while Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Gibbs-White might push for starting places. Ian Dennis believes Harry Kane will still be captain, with Pickford in goal. He notes that the current squad is expected to remain largely intact, with Ezri Konsa as the only other 30-something player. Max Dowman is expected to be part of the squad, but the right-back position remains uncertain, with Archie Gray and Nico O'Reilly as possible contenders. Alex Howell predicts that Jordan Pickford will remain the number one goalkeeper, with James Trafford challenging him. He favors Myles Lewis-Skelly over Adam Wharton in midfield, citing physicality. Jarrad Branthwaite or Levi Colwill could be key center-backs, with Max Dowman likely in the squad. Brian Madjo is expected to emerge as a natural number nine, adding depth to England’s attacking options.
