Shoot’s England XI to beat Malta on Saturday

ST – Marcus Rashford

It’s a tricky choice between Marcus Rashford and Daniel Sturridge, but I’d go for the Manchester United forward.

The 18-year-old is full of confidence having broken into Jose Mourinho’s starting eleven, and having netted four times already this season.

Add to that the fact that Sturridge has only netted in the EFL Cup this season – a brace against Bolton Wanderers – and hasn’t featured as much as he would have liked in the Premier League, and all signs point to Rashford getting the nod.

Surprisingly left out by Allardyce for the Slovakia match, not only should Rashford be in the squad, but he should be in the starting eleven.
