England team news appears to have leaked just hours before their crunch Euro 2024 final showdown with Spain.
And with Gareth Southgate set to leave Luke Shaw on the bench, it appears the 53-year-old is willing to take a huge risk as he looks to make history.
England, according to The Telegraph, are set to stick with the same team that beat the Netherlands in their semi-final showdown on Wednesday.
That means Jordan Pickford in goal, with Marc Guehi, John Stones and Kyle Walker at the back.

Bukayo Saka and Kieran Trippier are poised to remain in wing-back roles, with Kobbie Mainoo and Declan Rice deployed in midfield.
And it appears Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden will, once again, start behind Harry Kane.
Most of those selections make sense. 10 of them, at least.
Guehi, Stones and Walker have all grown into the tournament, with the former particularly impressive so far.
Saka is undroppable due to the threat he poses, while Rice and Mainoo's midfield partnership has flourished.
Though Bellingham and Foden haven't set the world alight, they're simply too good to drop.
And the same can be said for Kane, too, with the Bayern Munich star currently on three goals from six matches at the tournament.
Starting with Trippier represents a huge risk, however.
While the Newcastle star has rarely put a foot wrong for his country, his lack of pace means he risks being exposed.
Especially when you consider the quality of Spain and their players on the flanks.
Lamine Yamal is world-class already, despite only just turning 17. He celebrated his birthday on Saturday, with the teenager raring to go.
Yamal is arguably the brightest prospect in the whole of world football and gave Jules Kounde nightmares during Spain's 2-1 win over France on Tuesday.
Shaw, as a natural left-back, would be the wiser pick.

But it appears Southgate still harbours some concerns over the defender's fitness, with Shaw appearing just twice out in Germany so far.
If England switched things up by putting Trippier at right wing-back, that wouldn't necessarily make things easier.
And that's because of the outstanding form of Nico Williams, with the 22-year-old managing two goal involvements in five matches so far.

England will have to be at their brilliant best to beat Spain tonight.
La Roja have won all six of their matches at the tournament so far, including major scalps against Germany and France.
And whether Southgate's risk pays off remains to be seen.
