EURO 2024 Final: Spain vs England Starting Lineups

England prepare to face Spain on a much-anticipated stage in Berlin, promising a dramatic and emotional final.

Luke Shaw has returned to full fitness after injury but manager Southgate has resisted calls to bring the Manchester United defender back into the starting line-up.

That means Kieran Trippier will continue to play as the left winger. The opposite flank belongs to Bukayo Saka.

Luke Shaw will be considered for introduction from the second half, depending on the situation and Gareth Southgate's intentions.

Since the knockout round, the Three Lions have shown effectiveness in the 3-4-2-1 formation, with 3 central defenders spread across Walker - Stones - Guehi, along with the wing-back pair Trippier - Saka.

This formation helps Bellingham and Phil Foden no longer step on each other, creating conditions for the Man City midfielder to often move into the middle to create breakthroughs.

Kobbie Mainoo and Declan Rice started together in midfield for the fourth consecutive game, while captain Harry Kane continued to lead the line.

The two heroes who created the decisive goals in the semi-finals, Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer, will have to wait for their chances from the bench.

On the other side of the front line, coach De la Fuente welcomed the return of Le Normand and Dani Carvajal after suspension. The Real Madrid right-back is sure to return to replace Jesus Navas.

However, the possibility of Le Normand starting is questioned, because in such an important match, coach La Fuente wants to prioritize the experience of central defender Nacho alongside Laporte.

In the midfield, Rodri and Fabian Ruiz continue to be trusted. Dani Olmo is a case of "the old man lost his horse", playing extremely well since replacing the injured Pedri who will be out for the rest of the tournament.

The attacking trio of Nico Williams - Morata - Lamine Yamal hope to have another explosive night to bring Spain to the pinnacle of glory.

Expected Euro 2024 final lineup:

Spain (4-3-3):Unai Simon; Carvajal, Nacho, Laporte, Cucurella; Fabian Ruiz, Rodri, Dani Olmo; Lamine Yamal, Morata, Nico Williams.

England (3-4-2-1):Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Declan Rice, Trippier; Bellingham, Foden; Harry Kane.
