Both England and Switzerland have selection dilemmas heading into their Euro 2024 quarter-final on Saturday.

The Three Lions reached this stage thanks to a 2-1 extra-time victory over Slovakia in the last round, with Jude Bellingham scoring a remarkable bicycle kick to save the draw in 90 minutes before captain Harry Kane headed home the winner in ET.

Switzerland impressively dispatched of Italy 2-0.

There will be one definite change from Southgate as Marc Guehi is suspended after picking up a yellow card versus Slovakia.

Ezri Konsa will likely come as his replacement.

The England manager has ignored outside chat demanding changes to largely keep to the same starting XI save for the spot alongside Declan Rice in midfield. However, there is chatter that he may switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation for this one.

That could see Trent Alexander-Arnold come it at right wing-back, with Bukayo Saka asked to do a job on the left.

Jordan Pickford will start behind a back three of Kyle Walker, John Stones and Konsa, with Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Kobbie Mainoo and Saka across the midfield.

It doesn't seem likely that any of Kane, Bellingham or Phil Foden will lose their spot.

Switzerland Team News

Switzerland had an injury scare this week as Granit Xhaka's fitness has constantly been assessed due to an abductor problem, but it seems like the Leverkusen man will be good to go on Saturday.

Silvan Widmer is available again after his suspension.

Yan Sommer will start in goal, with Fabian Schar, Manuel Akanji and Ricardo Rodriguez in defence.

The midfield four should consist of Dan Ndoye, Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka and Michal Aebischer.

Breel Embolo proved his fitness to start the last game, and he'll be supported by Ruben Vargas and Fabian Rieder.
