Gareth Southgate has big plans for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

The Three Lions boss dropped a huge hint that the Chelsea ace will start in England's second World Cup Qualifier against Albania on Sunday.

He said: "They did very well in the game we played against Iceland.

"Obviously that deeper position, Mason doesn't play for his club but I think it's possible for him.

"He's a very intelligent player, he can play four, eight or 10. I think he would be able to adjust as required.

"There's no doubt the balance of those two is good. But equally James Ward-Prowse was good (against San Marino) the other day and Kalvin Phillips is in excellent form as well.

"It's an area on the pitch where we are starting to get some options. It's been great to have Jude (Bellingham) with us as well. Like almost every position on the pitch we have a lot of competition for places."
