GARETH SOUTHGATE has switched to a back-three for England's quarter-final showdown with Switzerland tomorrow.
With Marc Guehi suspended, the Three Lions boss has decided to change formation for the first time this tournament for the game in Dusseldorf.
Ezri Konsa replaces Guehi and will make his full tournament debut alongside Manchester City pair John Stones and Kyle Walker, who is set to start at right centre-back.
Despite injury concerns, Kieran Trippier keeps his place, but will move over to right wing-back, meaning Trent Alexander-Arnold once again misses out.
Elsewhere, Bukayo Saka has been moved to left wing-back with Luke Shaw, who is still not yet fit enough to start, after ending the 2-1 victory over Slovakia there.
Into midfield, Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo will once again partner Declan Rice following his impressive showing against Slovakia in the last-16.
Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, whose stunning overhead kick forced extra-time last Sunday, will support Harry Kane in attack.
The formation change was expected after the Three Lions trained in the shape earlier this week.
Many pundits did not expect Southgate to make the change.
However, the new line-up is almost exactly what Jason Cundy called for, with the exception of Trippier at right wing-back over Alexander-Arnold.
Meanwhile, Saka's position on the left side of defence will echo his time there previously with Arsenal.
Saka had said he did not believe he was not the solution at left-back.

This Southgate must be anti-Liverpool. He's got Trent and also Gomez who was outstanding at left back for almost the whole season.
