Is it too early for a 25-man squad prediction?
Goalkeepers: Pickford, Butland, McCarthy
Defenders: Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Gomez, Shaw, Rose
Midfielders: Alli, Hughes, Maddison, Dier, Foden, Lingard, Cook
Forwards: Kane, Sterling, Gray, Sancho, Vardy, Wilson
Think a lot of the younger lads have forced their way into contention.
Might be a bit optimistic - wouldn't be averse to seeing Wan-Bissaka, Lascelles, Chilwell, Tarkowski, Loftus-Cheek or Rashford in there but don't think it's likely.
As much as I'd love to see him picked, I think this squad may be one too early for Sancho. He's only had two games this season both of which he started on the bench. I also think it's maybe a squad too early for Sessegnon and Foden.
My prediction would be:
Goalkeepers: Pickford, Butland, McCarthy
Defenders: Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Gomez, Tarkowski, Holgate, Shaw, Bertrand
Midfielders: Alli, Henderson, Dier, Milner, Lingard, Hughes, Barkley
Forwards: Kane, Sterling, Walcott, Vardy, Gray
