Bukayo Saka has been selected to start for England against Germany as they look to book a place in the quarter finals of Euro 2020.
Our youngster will line-up as part of a front-three including both Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane, with England boss Gareth Southgate opting to switch to 3-4-3 formation for our tough opening knockout round match against the DFB.
Starting for the Three Lions.
In a major tournament.
Against Germany.
At Wembley.

Many had predicted that the manager would opt to return to Phil Foden, despite Saka’s Star of the Match award performance in his only appearance thus far, but thankfully he has made the right decision here.
Come on England.
Predictions?

Buzzing!!
Yeah.. common saka
Yea same
Shocked he’s picked TBH but Southgate as gone 3-4-3 with pace to counter their formation.
Safety first selection from Southgate which could rebound on him.The absence of Mount and Foden surprises me after their major contributions to the team in the qualifying matches.
Come on Saka
Kane is has so far being a passenger in the match it should be worrying for the England. Happy to see Saka play ahead of Sancho, Foden, Grealish and Mount.
Seems to start very well and then fade as the games go on in the Euros so far. Not sure why…come on Saka!
not a great day for Saka today. He was fine but was well handled by Rudiger. Would have been nice if Sterling would have played him in a couple of times.
