Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier is set for a recall for tonight's Euro 2020 final against Italy.

The decision suggests England coach Gareth Southgate is set to play with a back-three.

Trippier is in line to start the final in place of Arsenal whiz Bukayo Saka in a move that allows England to move to a three-man defence, although Mason Mount is also sweating over his losing his spot to Trippier, reports the Daily Mail.

Southgate successfully used a back-three in the last-16 tie against Germany - but has used a four man defence in all five of the other games.

But the tactical switch is a clear indication of the threat of Italy's attack Southgate believes his team will confront.
