The midfield comprises Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer (both Chelsea), alongside Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool). Upfront, he selected Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford), Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest), and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool).

The Premier League is on pause for the international break and will resume on November 23, with Leicester City hosting Chelsea to kick off the next round of fixtures.
