The former Liverpool defender selected Jordan Pickford to start in goal ahead of Hart, because of his impressive form for Everton, and Hart's lack of playing time for West Ham. Carragher opted for a back three of Stones, Gary Cahill and Harry Maguire, who has had a very good season for Leicester.
Kyle Walker and Danny Rose start at wing-back, with Wilshere and Jordan Henderson in midfield. Carragher opted for Henderson ahead of Eric Dier because the Liverpool captain can bring more "energy" to the side, and that otherwise you could "flip a coin" to make your choice, because there's nothing between the two. Dele Alli and Raheem Sterling start behind Kane.
You could maybe make one or two changes to the side, possibly start Dier in the back-three or in midfield, but otherwise it's hard to argue with this team. Adam Lallana has been a key player for England in recent years, but he is only returning to first-team action for Liverpool following a lengthy spell out injured. Marcus Rashford has impressed for England, but it's difficult to argue for him to start when he's not currently starting for Manchester United.Explore more on these topics:
