THE PREDICTION
Gareth Southgate named his 26-man squad for the Euros on Tuesday but his team selection for this match will still be hamstrung by the recent European finals. The players from United, Chelsea and City will be missing from the starting lineup so a front three of Jack Grealish, Harry Kane and Jadon Sancho is likely to be named as the Three Lions look to land on their preferred system. They come up against an Austria side that had a very frustrating March in which they won just one of their three World Cup qualifiers and that victory involved going behind to Faroe Islands. Their squad remains heavily influenced by the Bundesliga but the lack of a starting role for RB Leipzig’s Marcel Sabizter has left many baffled. England will be rotated but will expect to kick off their preparations with a low-scoring victory.
