England's World Cup squad for Russia 2018 based on the latest Sky Bet odds


Gareth Southgate names England's World Cup squad on Wednesday, but here's what it could look like based on the odds.

Southgate will face the media at Wembley to reveal the lucky 23 players who will be travelling to Russia this summer to try and end the nation's 52-year wait for glory.

Well, a respectable quarter-final run at least.

There are obviously a host of dead certs who will be on board the plane such as Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker to name just three, but there are also other odds-on candidates facing an anxious 48 hours.

We've comprised a 23-man squad based on the shortest-priced players for each position in line with Sky Bet's World Cup odds, while we've also highlighted a handful of outsiders who could spring a surprise.
