England fans have told Gareth Southgate to make one key change to his team ahead of the clash against Denmark.

On Sunday, the Three Lions started their Euro 2024 campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Serbia, with Jude Bellingham scoring the winner in the 13th minute.

After the match, Manchester City star Phil Foden was one of several England stars who were criticised after a below-par performance in Gelsenkirchen.

Ahead of the match, England fans have demanded Southgate start Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins after a video of him in training was posted on social media.

Reacting to the footage, one fan said: ā€œStart Ollie Watkins, His rapid and great finisher.ā€

Another tweeted: ā€œWould love for him to start vs Denmark. Might catch them off guard as their probably expecting Kane.ā€

A third fan added: ā€œBut won’t get any minutes as Kane will never get subbed off while he hasn’t scored a goal yet or it’s a close game!!.ā€

Someone else wrote: ā€œGive the guy a chance then!!!!ā€

A fifth commented: ā€œOlly is more than capable but he needs service, same as any centre forward. Harry Kane often has to come deep to get into the game.ā€

Another fan said: ā€œWatkins off the left will help that early press massively and be a great outlet for Kane to find.ā€

Speaking recently, Watkins said: ā€œMindset is huge. You train every day physically and you can be really good technically, but it takes a lot.

ā€œAs a striker, you might not score for three games and then there'll be self-doubt creeping in, in previous seasons.ā€

The 28-year-old continued: ā€œNow I'll be calm because I know I'm going to get opportunities and then I'll back myself to score - whereas before I might have been down on myself a bit more.

ā€œI had a really good year, got the most assists in the league, scored a lot of goals and people still weren't including me in their squads to come to the Euros.

ā€œEveryone has their own opinion, but I don't feel like I have that big profile where I'm talked about. Or where if I was left out of the squad, people would be like: 'Oh, I can't believe they didn't pick Ollie Watkins.' I'm happy I'm here now.ā€
