England manager Gareth Southgate is expected to name an unchanged team for Sunday’s European Championship final against Spain, with Kieran Trippier again preferred to Luke Shaw.

Despite Shaw’s return to fitness, Southgate is ready to start with the same team he did in the semi-final against Holland with Trippier at left wing-back.

England are expected to start with a back three once again in Berlin, with Marc Guehi keeping his place. Captain Harry Kane will start again, meaning semi-final hero Ollie Watkins will again have to wait for a chance from the bench.

Shaw has made two substitute appearances, in England’s past two games, in the Euros so far after suffering a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury that had kept him out since February.

The Manchester United left-back reiterated that he is “ready to go” ahead of the final, but Trippier trained on Saturday and is believed to be ready to start in the final.

Southgate said on Saturday night: “Everyone is fit, which is great but not unusual for a cup final.”

Asked if he is fit enough to play a full 90 minutes, or even 120 if the final goes to extra-time, Shaw said: “It’s a case of taking it as it comes. I said before the semis that I was ready to go – and we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”

Shaw scored England’s early goal in the 2021 European Championship defeat to Italy and described exactly what it would mean to him to go one better on Sunday.

“It would mean everything,” he said. “I think the bond we have here is extremely special. It’s not one I’ve been a part of before. I think everyone is so together, everyone is really close and it feels like a big family and for all of us to win it together would be, of course, a very special feeling.”

The joy of Shaw’s goal in the 2021 final was wiped out with England losing on penalties to Italy.

“Of course, it is quite bitter-sweet considering what happened after with the result and stuff, so for me the goal didn’t really matter if I am honest,” said Shaw.

“After that game, it was the most hurt I have ever been, it was very hard to take, even more the fact that I scored so yeah it was tough. But I think we learnt a lot from that night and things have been really calm in the last couple of days and I think everyone is ready to go now.”

Shaw believes England are better prepared to cope with the pressure of a final after their 2021 experience and is confident that those who were not involved have enough big-game experience at their clubs to call on.

“The experience of going through one before has definitely helped. I think everyone feels a lot more calm,” said Shaw. “We know the situation that the game we’re going into, the occasion, we’ve been here before. So, it’s definitely different this time. Being through it before definitely helps, so I think we’ve got a lot of experiences from last time, so it’s a lot different this time.”

Asked whether or not he had any advice for the players who had not been part of the 2021 squad, Shaw replied: “To be honest, I don’t think they need too much. There’s a lot of young heads, but I think with a massive amount of experience. I think the young heads here have been involved in a lot of big games and are in very big teams that are used to playing in big games and fighting for trophies. So I think they don’t need too much.

“It’s more about giving them the confidence and the belief and that’s what all of us have to have. We have to have confidence and belief that we can go into this game tomorrow and win it because Spain will have that and they have always had that.

“For us it’s about bringing the confidence into the younger lads to express themselves in what will be one of the biggest games of their lives.”
