England predicted lineup vs Republic of Ireland - Nations League

Gareth Southgate's men will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Nations League when they take on the Republic of Ireland on Thursday night.

England got their campaign off to a winning start with a 1-0 victory over Hungary in Budapest on Saturday, and they will be confident of another three points against an Irish side who were beaten 1-0 by Armenia in their opening match.

Southgate is likely to make a few changes to the team that started against Hungary, with the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka all pushing for a recall.

Here is our predicted England lineup for the match against the Republic of Ireland:

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford

Pickford has been England's number one goalkeeper for the last few years and is likely to keep his place in the team for the match against Ireland.

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw

Alexander-Arnold, Stones and Maguire are all likely to start in defence, with Shaw coming in at left-back in place of Ben Chilwell.

Midfielders: Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips, Mason Mount

Rice and Phillips are likely to continue in central midfield, with Mount coming in for Jack Grealish.

Forwards: Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka

Sterling, Kane and Saka are all likely to start in attack, with Kane leading the line and Sterling and Saka providing support from the flanks.
