Brighton’s Ben White was named as the final member of the 26-man squad ahead of the Euros with that potentially being a clue for how Southgate will set up for the match, the defender can be backed at 5/4 to start.
One player we do like the look of at the current prices is Champions League winner, Reece James. The versatile right sided defender could potentially be deployed as a wing-back, should Southgate decide to play three at the back and the odds of 7/5 of him starting on Sunday should be considerably shorter in our opinion.
