Reports from The Athletic are suggesting that Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate will line up with a back four and that Phillips will partner West Ham's Declan Rice in centre midfield.

Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker are expected to line up as left back and right back respectively either side of centre backs Tyrone Mings and John Stones.
