Arsenal hero Nigel Winterburn rates Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell ahead of Manchester United's Luke Shaw.

The former West Ham, Birmingham, Oxford United and Wimbledon star won just two England caps - with his international career mostly thwarted by current Hammers coach and former player - Stuart Pearce's dominance of the Three Lions left-back slot.

He told FreeSuperTips: "I wouldn't mind if either of them played, but if I'm to pick one I'd go Chilwell just based on the feel-good factor.

"He's been in great form and Chelsea had an unbelievable finish to the season, so I'd go that way.

"The question is whether Southgate goes with four or five at the back and if he prefers one or the other based on the system.

"[Bukayo] Saka is another player who could equally play in that position, so England have some good options there."
