Trent Alexander-Arnold is not in the England squad for Monday's game against Germany.

England's five-game winless run is their longest in four years, and Friday's meek 0-1 loss at Italy saw them demoted from the Nations League's top tier.

Monday's clash with Germany is a dead rubber as a result, but it is still important for England in terms of improving the mood and rebuilding confidence in their final match before the World Cup begins.

Ivan Toney has been included in the squad after missing out against Italy.

Rob Dorsett says that while Gareth Southgate is under pressure in his role as England manager, there is no expectation that his job would be in danger ahead of the World Cup.

Sky Sports News is led by a senior reporter.

This is the most difficult spell that the England manager has had to contend with.

He is under a lot of pressure at the moment. England has lost five games in a row. They have lost two in a row and are not very confident.

The pressure doesn't apply to the situation where he could lose his job before the World Cup. It's not going to happen. I was told that it would be ludicrous of the FA to do that, because the level of instability that would create going into a major tournament is not on the agenda at all.

This is a big game for England. He was adamant that he was the right man for the job. He thinks he saw a lot of improvements in the performance against Italy.

"Southgate said he didn't think the performance against Italy was far off, and he knew he was going to get criticism for saying that, and there have been questions over his tactical decisions." The long ball over the top was a direct result of Italy going more directly after the goal.

The one for Italy's goal can't be legislated for top defenders in the premier league.

Too many of the key players are out of form or not playing enough football for their clubs, which is a real problem for Southgate. The manager still has a lot of questions to answer.
