Louis van Gaal has stuck with the three-man defence that has served the Netherlands so well since he returned to the manager’s job last year.
There are two Premier League representatives among the centre-backs, with Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Manchester City’s Nathan Ake joining Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt at the back.
Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong is part of a two-man midfield alongside former Watford man Steven Berghuis, while Cody Gakpo – who has been linked with a host of English clubs – will play as the No 10.
Tottenham fans may be shocked to see Van Gaal selecting Vincent Janssen and Steven Bergwijn – two players who flopped in north London – as his front two.
