Team Lineups,

It appears that England has a favorable advantage for today’s match, but Koulibaly, Mendy, and Diallo of Senegal are expected to provide a challenge for England’s attackers. Gareth Southgate seems to be sticking to a 4-3-3 formation, and the predicted lineup for today’s match is as follows:

England predicted starting 11
(4-3-3 right to left): 1. Pickford (GK) — 12. Trippier, 5. Stones, 6. Maguire, 3. Shaw — 8. Henderson, 22. Bellingham, 4. Rice — 11. Rashford, 9. Kane, 10. Sterling

There are no injuries or suspensions for England, except for Ben White, who is out of the tournament.

In the win over Wales, Southgate opted for a 4-3-3 formation and may continue with the use of an additional orthodox central midfielder as the tournament progresses, which could be beneficial for Jordan Henderson.

Senegal’s predicted starting 11
(4-2-3-1, right to left): 16. E. Mendy (GK) — 21. Sabaly, 3. Koulibaly, 14. Jakobs, 22. Diallo — 26. P Gueye, 6. N. Mendy — 13. Ndiaye, 11. P. Ciss, 18. I. Sarr — 9. Dia

Senegal will be missing Idrissa Gueye due to suspension, and Sadio Mane is out for the entire tournament due to injury.

With Gueye suspended and Kouyate injured, Nampalys Mendy could be in line to start in the center of midfield for Senegal.

Overall, Senegal is expected to line up in a familiar 4-2-3-1 formation for the match against England.
