British media speculating on Czech Republic line-up, will England start without a top striker?

On Tuesday, the Czech national team will face the last duel of the basic groups at this year’s Euro. This time it will face England. What line-up is the opponent from the British Isles likely to field?

It is very likely that coach Southgate will shuffle the line-up and leave Harry Kane, who has not been doing too well at the European Championship so far.

What could the line-up look like without him? According to the British newspaper The Sun, it is likely that England will start in a 4-3-3 formation without a top striker.

There is no reason to make any changes in goal, Jordan Pickford should be back between the three posts.

As for the defensive four, it should see one change, with Trippier replacing Shaw at left-back. Otherwise, the remaining trio of Mings, Stones and James remains unchanged from the last game.

England should start the match with three central midfielders. While Grealish is expected to make his first appearance in the starting line-up at the Euros, Rice and Mount have already played together in the last game against Scotland.

And who should occupy the Czech Republic’s defensive line the most? It should be Rashford with Sterling on the wings and the slightly more retractable Foden in between. England are thus very likely to start without their biggest star Harry Kane.

England’s starting line-up according to The Sun:

Pickford – Trippier, Mings, Stones, James – Grealish, Rice, Mount – Rashford, Foden, Sterling
