England have avoided the temptation to make multiple changes to the starting lineup for tonight’s Euro 2024 game against Slovenia.
The manager's experiment with Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield has not convinced, so Conor Gallagher, who has replaced the Liverpool man from the bench in both Euros games, is the only fresh face in the starting XI.

Anthony Gordon, the only natural left-winger in the squad, has to settle for a potential role off the bench despite criticism that England lacked balance and width from the left against Denmark.
Kieran Trippier, who has deputised at left-back, is thought to be carrying a calf injury but trained on Monday and is fit to start again.
Luke Shaw, the only recognised left-back in the squad, has returned to training but has not played since February, meaning he does not feature.
There have been questions about Harry Kane's fitness but he continues in the line-up this evening.
Starting XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Gallagher, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Kane
Subs: Ramsdale, Henderson, Shaw, Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Dunk, Toney, Gordon, Watkins, Bowen, Eze, Gomez, Palmer, Wharton, Mainoo
