Gareth Southgate is set to announce who he has selected to be part of his England squad at 2pm on Thursday, for the national team's friendly fixtures against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast at Wembley. As always, fans are debating who should receive a call-up.
Manchester United have not been in great form this season and this will most likely affect the selection. Dean Henderson seems unlikely to add to his caps after spending most of the season on the bench and Luke Shaw's recent injury struggles may rule him out, however, Ben Chilwell's long-term injury layoff may see him retain his place.
Harry Maguire is expected to be included based on his form with the national side. He scored the opening goal in England's 10-0 demolition of San Marino in November and his celebration was the topic of much debate from United fans.

Jesse Lingard falls into a similar camp as Henderson as he has not seen the pitch much this season. The struggles of Marcus Rashford are well documented and a break from competitive football might do him good. United fans, therefore, don't have a definitive argument for any player to make the cut, except for one.
Since the arrival of Ralf Rangnick at United, Jadon Sancho has been the team's best player and though this doesn't fully reflect in his goal and assist statistics, he is the focal point of any attacking move the team makes. Many fans are demanding that he gets a recall this time around.
Sancho was part of the England squad in October despite his struggles under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Southgate defending his selection by saying: "Does he deserve to be in on these performances over the past few weeks? Well, probably not. But I think we feel we have invested in Jadon [Sancho] over a period of time, we believe he can get to a high level."
But the player's struggles continued and he was omitted from the following squad in November. But now revitalised under Rangnick, United fans believe that Sancho must be chosen this time around and they made this known on Twitter. Here is a selection of some of the comments replying to England's tweet of who do fans want to see in the squad:
