Central midfielders
Jordan Henderson – Tipped as Steven Gerrard’s natural successor, Henderson doesn’t have the passing ability to be that good, but the 24-year-old is a great leader.
James Milner – More established in the City first team now than he has ever been, Milner will be 30-years-old in two years time, but his work rate and versatility means he should certainly be included.
James Ward-Prowse – Just the latest of the seemingly endless conveyor belt of young talent at St Mary’s and expect big things from the midfielder.
Jack Wilshere – Has already developed his game to be able to play more deeply and Wilshere could be the ideal anchor in the Three Lions’ midfield.
