Is football coming home?

England have reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2006 and are now preparing to take on Sweden on Saturday.

But who should manager Gareth Southgate select in his starting XI?

Eric Dier, who scored the winning penalty against Colombia in Tuesday’s dramatic shootout win, only started that game on the bench – but does he deserve to start?

Has Danny Rose done enough to start on the left, or do you stick with Ashley Young? What about up front, do you keep faith with Raheem Sterling or would you rather have Marcus Rashford or Jamie Vardy?

In fact, Vardy, Dele Alli and Young are injury concerns so does that affect your thinking or are they worth the risk?

Pick your team below and remember to share your selection on social media with your friends.

We will announce the most popular players and your team just before Saturday’s game.

Not again, surely?

England’s success against Colombia was the first time the Three Lions had won a World Cup penalty shootout, and there could be more tension coming England fans’ way on Saturday.

But who would you want to take the spot-kicks, if it gets that far?

Dier, Rashford and Kieran Trippier all converted the first penalties they had taken in their senior careers against Colombia, Harry Kane scored the 23rd and 24th penalties of his career, while Jordan Henderson’s miss was his first.

Here is the record of penalties scored and missed by the England players…
