Sorry I went to bed, but here is my 6
Trafford - Dunk - Quansah - Jones - Eze - Toney -
Then it's a toss up between , Branthwaite - Guehi - Konsa -Mainoo - Wharton
Looking at the makeup of the squad, and putting players in their actual positions I think he'll look to cut 2 defenders, 2 "central midfielders" and 2 forwards. Trafford will be cut.
It's all guesswork at this stage, but I would guess:
Trafford-Quansah-Dunk-Wharton-Jones-Maddison-Bowen/Watkins
Quansah - one for the future but Branthwaite ahead of him
Dunk - old, not experienced, not versatile, doesn't keep clean sheets and was shite when he last played for England
Wharton - inexperienced and hasn't quite had the time to rightfully take the spot from Mainoo
Jones - a surprise call up and probably misses out
Maddison - not versatile enough and plays in a position we're stacked in with more versatile, and better players
Bowen - Saka and Palmer ahead of him, but he is a bit more direct and a goal threat...and he's scored the winner in a final which is a lot more than most of the squad
Watkins - a plan B but under a manager who wants to stick to plan A. Doesn't take penalties and Toney will replace Kane if injured. Needing a goal late on and he's much more likely to put one of the wide players on so leaning towards him missing the cut over Bowen.
