Ukraine vs England: Starting XIs for Euro 2024 Qualifier confirmed

As expected, Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire keep their places in the team despite recent and very different controversies over their selection.

The other surprise is James Maddison starting on the left wing over Marcus Rashford.

The Tottenham midfielder, who has performed well centrally for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou, started on the left wing in the return fixture against Ukraine at Wembley.

Ben Chilwell is preferred to Kieran Trippier at left-back, while Marc Guehi wins the race against Levi Colwill to start as Maguire’s centre-back partner.
