- James Ward-Prowse is 5/2 to make the 23 man squad for the Qatar World Cup after featuring in this month's England squad
- Aaron Ramsdale and Jordan Pickford both 1/20 to make the squad, but Ramsdale is 2/1 to start the first game at the World Cup
- Jack Grealish 1/16 to make squad but may not start for his country at the World Cup
James Ward-Prowse is 5/2 to make the 23 man squad for the Qatar World Cup
Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse is 5/2 with bookies to make Gareth Southgate's 2022 World Cup Squad this Winter.
Ward-Prowse has been involved in Southgate's Nations League squad this month, starting against Italy in England's 0-0 draw last weekend.
The England manager tends to have his favoured players and Ward-Prowse featuring in this squad gives him a good chance of featuring in the World Cup Squad.
| England midfielders to make the WC 23 man squad (featured players) | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Conor Gallagher | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| James Ward-Prowse
|
5/2 | 28.6% |
| Emile Smith-Rowe | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| James Maddison | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Jesse Lingard | 5/1 | 16.7% |
James Maddison has been unlucky with his England career so far with just one appearance for his country back in 2019.
Injuries hampered his season back in 2020-21, but he's pushed on this year to be Leicester's Player of the Year for the 2021-22 season.
Aaron Ramsdale and Jordan Pickford both 1/20 to make the squad
The goalkeeper position is always an interesting one when it comes to the England national team and this year is no different.
Jordan Pickford has been an ever present in goal during the majority of Gareth Southgate's reign.
Aaron Ramsdale though has really pushed on this season at Arsenal and he started for his country in the 0-0 draw against Italy last weekend.
At odds of 2/1 to start the first game of the 2022 World Cup, bookies give Ramsdale around a 33% chance of being number one.
Pickford is 3/10 to start for England in that game against Iran and it'd be a surprise if Southgate was to change his mind.
Jack Grealish 1/16 to make squad but may not start for his country at the World Cup
Manchester City star Jack Grealish will always be in Gareth Southgate's England squad, but it's a big argument if he is to start or not.
Grealish is 1/16 to make the England squad for the World Cup, but is odds against to start for his country at 11/8.
It'll be interesting to see if Southgate will keep Grealish as an impact sub for the tournament or that he trusts the player enough as a starter.
Based on the bookmakers odds, it'll be a front three of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden who start England's first game against Iran.
