BBC Sport reporters have selected their ideal England starting XIs with Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad announcement just days away. The analysis reveals key positional battles as England prepare for the tournament in June.

Central to the debate is the number 10 role, with Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers emerging as frontrunners. Bellingham's return to fitness for Real Madrid could force Tuchel's hand, though Rogers remains a favorite after a stellar season with Aston Villa. Midfield stability appears set with Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson forming the core.

The defensive lineup shows Lewis Hall as the current standout at left-back, while Ezri Konsa is considered 'nailed on' for a center-back spot after starting six qualifiers. The left-wing position remains competitive with Marcus Rashford, Eberechi Eze, and Anthony Gordon all featuring in recent matches.
