CHRIS SUTTON’S FORM GUIDE

ENGLAND (4-2-3-1)

-

JORDAN PICKFORD 8/10

I love seeing Pickford bark at his defenders when they do something he doesn’t like. It shows he’s in charge and he wants that sixth clean sheet.

KYLE WALKER 7

He occasional­ly lost possession against Ukraine, but otherwise he’s been solid. You can’t change a back four that’s kept five clean sheets out of five!

JOHN STONES 8

He’s been colossal, ever present in a defence that’s yet to concede. He’s also produced more passes than Kane, Foden, Sancho, Saka and Grealish combined!

HARRY MAGUIRE 8

In heading home against Ukraine, we saw why he was such a big miss when England were struggling to score from set pieces earlier in the tournament. LUKE SHAW 8 Brazil legend Roberto Carlos applauded Shaw for his last performanc­e and rightly so. He’s been a crucial component on the left of this back line.

KALVIN PHILLIPS 8

After playing every minute it was a blessing Phillips could be rested for a bit after England took a 4-0 lead against Ukraine. What a tournament he’s having.

DECLAN RICE 8

Rice and Phillips have formed such an alliance that it simply cannot be broken up. He wins the ball and then proceeds to move it up the pitch.

JADON SANCHO 7

A rare right-footed right winger! He got his first start of the tournament against Ukraine and didn’t do anything worthy of being dropped.

MASON MOUNT 7

Never stops moving. No 10s are judged on their ability to create and that’s fair, but he doesn’t get enough credit for his defensive contributi­on.

RAHEEM STERLING 9

To think he came into this tournament under such scrutiny. Plenty of people thought he wasn’t good enough to be starting. Now he’s undroppabl­e.

HARRY KANE 9

He’s up and running, and you know what? That Golden Boot award is in sight. Kane can score the goals that take England to the final.

TOTAL SCORE: 87/110
