Best City player 

James – John Stones – Best defender in the England ranks and will need him on form should England progress to my prediction. Jack Grealish will have a good tournament too should he start consistently.

Laura – I’d love to say our Phil Foden and see him shine. However, Southgate won’t allow him to play to his strengths, IF he plays him at all. So, I am going to go with Rodri.

Adam – Phil Foden – I believe he is the most talented player in England, and provided Southgate actually starts him this could be the tournament that annouces him to the world. City fans already know how special Phil is think the world will see it this next month.
