Gareth Southgate is set to make a huge change to England's starting XI for their final group stage match against Slovenia.

England have four points in Group C, having beaten Serbia and drawn against Denmark in their last outing.

The Three Lions resume their campaign on Tuesday when they face Slovenia as they look to top the group ahead of the knockout stages.

And for the Cologne clash, Southgate is set to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold with Conor Gallagher.

That's according to David Ornstein, who claims Gallagher is set to come into the starting XI.

The Chelsea midfielder has featured in both games at the Euros as a second-half substitute.

He's set to make his first start of the tournament, with Southgate set to end the 'experiment' of Alexander-Arnold in midfield.

Alexander-Arnold has come in for criticism for his showings in the middle of the park, with Declan Rice jumping to his defence.

Southgate has made alteration to his starting XI in the third fixture of his three previous major tournaments.

And he also made tweaks to his side for the first knockout round each time, suggesting his Slovenia selection is not necessarily a sign of things to come further in the competition.

Speaking after England's 1-1 draw with Denmark, Gallagher, who replaced the Liverpool right-back in Frankfurt, said: "Tough game, we know we can do much better, but credit to Denmark.

"They played well and they’re a good side. We’ve got to look at ourselves and we know we can improve to get the three points in the next game.

"We know that if we’re going to win the tournament, we need to play better.

"We have to improve how we’re playing, on and off the ball. The good thing is we know we can."

The 24-year-old played 39 games across all competitions for Chelsea last season and has 15 senior caps for England.

Gallagher will look to add balance to England's midfield as they look to round off the group stage with a win over Slovenia.
