Gareth Southgate goes into this weekend's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland with much to ponder when it comes to his team selection.
With Marc Guehi suspended, the England boss could shuffle his pack, resulting in significant changes at both ends of the pitch.
Talking on William Hill and Footy Accumulators’ podcast, No Tippy Tappy Football, former Three Lions boss Sam Allardyce revealed what change he would make for the encounter for the Swiss, and it's not good news for Phll Foden.

Talking on William Hill and Footy Accumulators’ podcast, No Tippy Tappy Football, former Three Lions boss Sam Allardyce revealed what change he would make for the encounter for the Swiss, and it's not good news for Phll Foden.
“I’d give Cole Palmer a go in midfield over Phil Foden,” said Allardyce.
“Foden has played every game, he’s just had a newborn and had to fly back, so I’m taking everything into account.
“Based on England’s performances so far in this competition, I think if they do go through, it’ll only be by one goal – either 1-0 or 2-1. England have been exceptional in defence, and that needs to be maintained.
“The balance going forward needs to be better, though. Their defensive solidarity has been the reason England have got to where they are in the competition, plus a bit of brilliance here and there as we saw in the last game from Jude Bellingham.”
