Shoot’s England XI to beat Malta on Saturday

CM – Dele Alli

Dele Alli is one of the most in-form players in the squad, and should get the nod ahead of captain Wayne Rooney.

The Spurs man scored a good goal against Manchester City last weekend, and appears to have bounced back well from a disappointing Euros.

By playing Alli in the centre of midfield, it gives Southgate the option of switching between a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1 formation, as Alli can play in the number 10 role behind the forward.
