SHOOT’s England XI to beat Slovenia on Tuesday evening

Gareth Southgate got his reign as interim England manager off to a winning start courtesy of a 2-0 win over Malta at the weekend.

First-half goals from Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge and Tottenham’s Dele Alli secured a comfortable win for the hosts, who were watched by more than 80,000 fans inside Wembley on Saturday evening.

Southgate handed a debut to Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard and recalled Theo Walcott for his first England appearance in just under a year against Malta, while there were also starts for Ryan Bertrand, Gary Cahill, and under-fire captain Wayne Rooney.

However, England’s lethargic second-half performance on Saturday night has called into question what Southgate’s team selection might be for the qualifier in Ljubljana, with a few members of the starting eleven under pressure to deliver a performance if picked on Tuesday.
