3 England players Southgate should start against Spain

Tom Heaton

With Fraser Forster ruled out through injury, having withdrawn from the squad, Southgate should look to give Tom Heaton what will be a thoroughly deserved second international cap for England.

The 30-year-old has been in tremendous form for newly promoted Burnley in the Premier League so far this term, demonstrated by the goalkeeper’s heroics in the Clarets’ goalless draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United late last month.

Having helped Burnley register seven points from a possible nine on offer in their last three league outings, Heaton should be given the opportunity to snuff out the Spaniards tonight.
