It's the 'million dollar question' that no-one can answer right now... what is England's best starting XI?

England kick-off their World Cup qualifiers tonight against minnows San Marino before facing Albania and Poland.

Other than two friendly matches in June, this is the final major meet-up for Gareth Southgate and Co ahead of the European Championships.

With attention turning to this summer's upcoming event, SPORTbible have asked our audience to pick the best starting XI.

Here's a selection of some of the best replies which includes the likes of Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and Leicester City ace James Maddison, among others.

So, despite being left out of Southgate's latest squad, there were plenty of calls for Alexander-Arnold to start at right-back amid his slump in form.

A centre-back pairing of Harry Maguire and John Stones appeared to be the most popular among our readers with a couple of shouts for Tyrone Mings.

Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice were the preferred central midfielders ahead of Jordan Henderson.

Jack Grealish and Phil Foden were also popular choices even though they have a combined eight international caps. But, of course, the two attack-minded stars are enjoying brilliant seasons for Aston Villa and Manchester City, respectively.

England supporters were also split between Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford as Harry Kane, unsurprisingly, featured in almost every team.
