Harry Kane

England has one of the best strikers of current times as their captain and all-time leading scorer. Harry Kane, known for his clinical finishing and aerial ability could help the Three Lions not only against Serbia in their first match but also throughout the tournament. His start at Bayern Munich last season was nothing less than spectacular.

Dusan Vlahovic

Dusan Vlahovic who has been an important part for Juventus this past season could be key for Serbia in this tournament. The 24-year-old striker not only scored 18 times in 38 matches throughout all tournaments for Juventus, but has also already scored 13 times for Serbia in 27 games. He should lead the attacks for his nation against England.

Jude Bellingham

England's young playmaker, Jude Bellingham has just completed a dream debut season at Real Madrid. His amazing performances throughout the season for Los Blancos helped them secure the domestic title as well as their 15th Champions League. He is expected to strengthen the Three Lions’ attacking prowess from the engine room.

Dusan Tadic

Serbia's experienced midfielder, Dusan Tadic, who is a regular for Fenerbahce should strengthen the attacks for his nation. He appeared in 56 games last season for his club throughout all competitions. In these matches, he scored 16 times and assisted another 16 times.

To prepare for the tournament, England have played two friendlies so far among which they won one against Bosnia and Herzegovina and lost the other against Iceland. The same could be said for Serbia who won one friendly against Sweden and lost the other against Austria.
