Sticking with the diamond formation that Hodgson has gone for in recent games..
DM) Michael Carrick
With Jack Wilshere unavailable, the position at the base of the diamond is perfectly suited for the experienced midfielder. Scored one and created another for Man United in the win against Tottenham last Sunday.
MC) Jordan Henderson
Perhaps the first name on the team-sheet given his impressive form at the moment, goals in each of his previous three league games for Liverpool.
MC) Fabian Delph
Revitalised under new manager Tim Sherwood at Aston Villa, has played a big part in their recent upturn in form.
Should slot in alongside Henderson in a two just ahead of Carrick.
AMC) Raheem Sterling
Major threat playing just behind the front two.
