<p>With England being installed as<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/euro-2024/uefa-euro-2024/uefa-euro-2024-outrights-6867312"> the outright favourites to win Euro 2024</a>, everyone wants to know what side Gareth Southgate will wheel out to try and bring home the trophy. </p>
<p>Well, that’s why here at Sportsbet we’ve launched the pick your England starting XI market which allows punters to select which players they think will start for England in their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia on June 17.</p>
<p>While some names are all but guaranteed to be on Southgate’s team sheet, others are not as set in stone. So, we’ve whipped out our crystal ball in order to lend a helping hand.</p>
<p>The result? Our England predicted lineup for their first match of Euro 2024. Keep reading to see who we believe will be running out for the Three Lions against Serbia as England begin their quest for their first major trophy since 1966.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>England Predicted Lineup Euro 2024</h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Goalkeeper – Jordan Pickford</h3>
<p>The first cab off the rank and the first of the sure things is goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.</p>
<p>The Everton shot stopper has been England’s No.1 for their last three major international tournaments, including two World Cups. Also, who can forget his heroics at the last Euros?</p>
<p>Pickford saved two penalties during the shootout in the final against Italy, but to no avail as England missed three, handing Italy the trophy.</p>
<p>He’ll be looking to help England go one better this time around when he takes his all but guaranteed place in goal at Euro 2024.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Left Back – Kieran Trippier</h3>
<p>Newcastle skipper Kieran Trippier appears to be the front runner for the left back position.</p>
<p>Although he didn’t have the best season for the Toon and is traditionally a right back, a lack of experienced competition in this position should see him start here for England in their Euros opener against Serbia.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Centre Back – Marc Guehl</h3>
<p>Normally this role would be occupied by Harry Maguire who has been a stalwart of the Southgate era, but he has finally been cut loose.</p>
<p>Unfit and out of form, Gareth finally let the much-maligned United defender go, cutting him for his final Euro squad.</p>
<p>This means Crystal Palace’s impressive 23-year-old defender Marc Guehl should find himself starting against Serbia, right beside this next man.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Centre Back – John Stones</h3>
<p>Fresh off winning his fourth consecutive Premier League trophy, experienced centre back John Stones will be looking to add to his ever-growing trophy cabinet with his first international trophy with England.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Right Back – Kyle Walker</h3>
<p>Reports suggest Kyle Walker will be favoured ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold here due to his pace and defensive acumen. However, TAA could pop up elsewhere in the team.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Central Midfielder – Jude Bellingham</h3>
<p>Another one of the sure things. Jude Bellingham will be one of, if not the first, name on the team sheet for England at Euro 2024.</p>
<p>With La Liga and the Champions League already sewn up, Bellingham will now set out to add the European Championship to his haul of trophies this year.</p>
<p>He’s not just one of the favourites to start for England against Serbia, he’s one of the favourites to win <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/tips-predictions-soccer/euro-2024-player-of-the-tournament">Player of the Tournament.</a></p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Central Midfielder – Declan Rice</h3>
<p>Partnering Bellingham in the heart of midfield for the Three Lions will surely be Arsenal ace Declan Rice.</p>
<p>Ever since he conveniently decided he wasn’t actually Irish, he’s been involved in the England set up, Euro 2024 will be no different.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Left Winger – Cole Palmer</h3>
<p>This is where things start to get tricky. Will Cole Palmer start for England at Euro 2024?</p>
<p>After the season he’s had for Chelsea, you’d have to say yes, but it depends on how Southgate wants to set up his side.</p>
<p>He may elect to play three in midfield with one of Alexander-Arnold or Kobbie Mainoo lining up alongside Rice and Bellingham.</p>
<p>If he does select to take a more aggressive attacking approach, expect to see Palmer start out wide with a license to drift into the middle as he sees fit.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Attacking Midfielder – Phil Foden</h3>
<p>A player in the mould of Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes. Luckily for Phil Foden he doesn’t have two other identical players vying for his position.</p>
<p>As the newly minted Premier League Player of the Season, Foden is a lock to start for England at Euro 2024.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Right Winger – Bukayo Saka</h3>
<p>Another impressive season for Arsenal’s prodigal son means Bukayo Saka should be lining up on the right flank for the Three Lions in their opener against Serbia.</p>
<p>However, some late mail suggests he may be under an injury cloud, so he will be one to monitor closer to kick-off.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Striker – Harry Kane</h3>
<p>He’s the captain and England’s all-time leading goal scorer. Need we say more?</p>
