BBC Sport pundits choose England World Cup XIs - who would you pick?

As Thomas Tuchel's side countdown to their opening game against Croatia on 17 June (21:00 BST), BBC Sport pundits have chosen their starting XI for their first World Cup game in Dallas.

Would you start Manchester City defensive duo, Marc Guehi and John Stones or would you pair one of those players with Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa?

Jude Bellingham will wear the number 10 shirt for the World Cup, but will he have a starting shirt in the Three Lions' opening game?

It is an easy pick, Jordan Pickford as the goalkeeper. I would start Reece James, if he is fully fit.

I would go with John Stones instead of Ezri Konsa, even though Konsa has been really reliable. I just believe on the ball at international football Stones can dictate and if we need to keep the ball in a game, he is one that can certainly do that.

Guehi starting is self-explanatory. He has been excellent for Crystal Palace and Manchester City this season. At left-back, Nico O'Reilly. I know Djed Spence started at their in the friendly against New Zealand, but if I had to pick one it would definitely be O'Reilly.

Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice - pretty much what everyone expects. I like Anderson because he can also start attacks. I know he is in there to break up play, but when he plays the ball through the lines he plays it with really good quality.

Rice, we all know why he starts. Jude Bellingham, I would start him ahead of Morgan Rogers in a number 10 position because he is a big game player. I think he is a genuine superstar. I think there is two genuine stars in him and Harry Kane.
