Under Gareth Southgate, England will be hoping to forget their disastrous Euro 2016 campaign.

The Three Lions suffered one of their most embarrassing defeats in their history with they lost to European minnows, Iceland, in their last-16 clash.

Roy Hodgson was sacked, Sam Allardyce replaced him but only lasted one game before being ousted due to an uncover investigation.

Southgate has now arrived and is hoping to lead the golden generation to the Russia World Cup as they look to win their first international tournament since 1966.

In truth, though, Russia 2018 will come too soon for England. Instead, they should probably concentrate on the European Championships in 2020.

In three years time, England could potentially have a very strong side with numerous young players already in their senior squad.

Therefore, we’ve taken a look at their potential XI ahead of Euro 2020.

Goalkeeper | Jordan Pickford | Caps: 0 | Age at Euro 2020: 26

Pickford’s Sunderland could well be getting relegated this season but the goalkeeper has been the standout for the Black Cats.

He’ll have to get above Tom Heaton, Fraser Forster and Joe Hart in the pecking order first, though.

Right-back | Kyle Walker | Caps: 23 | Age at Euro 2020: 30

Walker appears to have got the nod ahead of Nathaniel Clyne for England and will hope that’s the case in three years’ time.

While he may not be as strong defensively, he’s a real threat going forward.

Centre-back | John Stones | Caps: 15 | Age at Euro 2020: 26

Stones will learn so much playing almost every week under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and that is only going to benefit England.

He’s got the potential to captain this England side in years to come.

Centre-back | Michael Keane | Caps: 0 | Age at Euro 2020: 27

Keane is set to make his debut for the Three Lions against Germany on Wednesday evening and it could be the start of things to come.

He’s been brilliant from Burnley this season and United fans must be wishing Louis van Gaal didn’t let him go.

Left-back | Danny Rose | Caps: 12 | Age at Euro 2020: 29

Rose will have to compete against Luke Shaw for the starting position at Euro 2020 but, at the moment, looks to be in a slightly better position.

Shaw is struggling to play regularly at United while Rose has been brilliant for Spurs.

Central midfield | Eric Dier | Caps: 15 | Age at Euro 2020: 26

Dier emerged from Euro 2016 with a bit of credit - especially after scoring a great free-kick in the opener against Russia.

He would be very important in this side as he’d be expected to break up opponents' attacks.

Central midfield | Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | Caps: 24 | Age at Euro 2020: 26

Oxlade-Chamberlain has impressed in central midfield for Arsenal and would still only be 26 come Euro 2020. He faces stiff competition from the likes of Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley for this position but, if he continues to improve, he could make this slot his own.

Right wing | Raheem Sterling | Caps: 29 | Age at Euro 2020: 25

Like Stones, Sterling will be benefitting massively from playing almost every game at the Etihad under Guardiola. While he’s still inconsistent, he still has time to turn into an incredible player.

Number 10 | Dele Alli | Caps: 15 | Age at Euro 2020: 24

What a season Alli is having for Spurs and looks nailed on to be a starter for England at Euro 2020.

He’s scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season for the north London club and is likely to win PFA Young Player of the Year for a second consecutive season.

Left wing | Marcus Rashford | Caps: 6 | Age at Euro 2020: 22

Rashford may prefer playing as a central striker but, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing for United and Harry Kane playing for England, his best chance to start is on the left-wing.

His pace can cause all sorts of problems for defenders and a goal on his England debut against Australia proves he can adapt to international football.

Striker | Harry Kane | Caps: 17 | Age at Euro 2020: 26

Kane is set to score 20+ goals in the Premier League for a third consecutive season and is already England’s leading striker.

If he continues to improve, Kane could be one of the best strikers in world football come 2020.

Just don’t let him take corners.
