Kane call, three-sy does it and Shaw in?

Gareth Southgate's side have been heavily criticised for their performances at Euro 2024 but are one game away from Sunday's showpiece in Berlin.

Captain, all-time leading goalscorer and a man who hit the back of the net 44 times in 45 appearances for Bayern Munich last season.
