England kick off their 2018 World Cup campaign against Tunisia on Monday in a repeat of their opening fixture in the same tournament back in 1998 - but how should they line up?

Gareth Southgate's side will be hoping to make a winning start in Volgograd against the highest-ranked African team in the competition to build some momentum ahead of their remaining fixtures against Panama and Belgium.

England have won just one of their previous six group matches at major tournaments - a 2-1 victory over Wales at Euro 2016 - but they head into Monday's game as favourites to seal three points.

Marcus Rashford was the only absentee from England's first two training sessions at their base in Repino but the Manchester United forward is optimistic he will be fit enough to take part if needed.

Otherwise, Southgate has no fitness concerns to worry about, so who should he select for England's opener?
