England look set to go with three at the back for Switzerland showdown as Gareth Southgate's side look to kickstart their Euro 2024 campaign... but does the formation work for them?

Daily Mail  

Gareth Southgate has set his England team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in each of their first four games at Euro 2024 but he could now be set to switch his system. Perhaps fearful that Guehi's absence could make England vulnerable against a dangerous Switzerland side, Southgate is considering picking an extra central defender and going back to the 3-4-3 formation that he used throughout the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as well as against Germany and Italy at Euro 2020. England manager Gareth Southgate is considering using a 3-4-3 formation on Saturday Marc Guehi will be suspended for Saturday's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland Reverting to his old formation makes sense on one hand. Guehi could be replaced by Lewis Dunk, Ezri Konsa or Joe Gomez Harry Maguire, pictured hugging John Stones at the 2022 World Cup, is not in the squad Many fans may be concerned that adding another central defender to a team that has so far looked largely lifeless in attack at Euro 2024 is the opposite of what Southgate should be doing.
