Phil Foden, Jack Grealish start in attacking England XI against Hungary

Foden, Grealish start in attacking England XI against Hungary

Manchester City teammates Phil Foden and Jack Grealish have both been named in the starting lineup for England's World Cup 2022 Qualifying clash with Hungary.

Foden caught the eye with an impressive display in last weekend's 5-0 drubbing of Andorra, while Grealish came off the bench to score his first Three Lions goal on the day.

Gareth Southgate has understandably shuffled the pack considerably for Tuesday's game, but Foden holds his place in the first XI as England's big-hitters return.

Jordan Pickford returns in between the sticks, while Luke Shaw has been deemed fit enough to start at left-back over Ben Chilwell, who opened the scoring against Andorra.

John Stones and Tyrone Mings form the centre-back pairing, while Kyle Walker displaces Kieran Trippier at right-back and Jordan Henderson has to make do with another spot on the bench.

Foden starts alongside returning duo Declan Rice and Mason Mount in midfield, while Grealish and Raheem Sterling provide support to Harry Kane up top.

England starting lineup: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Mings, Shaw; Mount, Rice, Foden; Sterling, Kane, Grealish
