The man who will guard the sticks for England

After representing 7 different clubs in a span of 6 years, Jordan Pickford finally seems to have settled down at Everton, becoming the side's preferred shot-stopper ever since he signed for the Toffees in June 2017.

In his last two seasons (2016-17 at Sunderland and 2017-18 at Everton), Pickford has made a staggering total of 78 appearances, proving himself capable of guarding the sticks for the English National Team.

Last season, the 24-year-old kept 10 clean sheets for Everton, helping them reach 8th on the Premier League table - miles ahead of Jack Butland's 19th-placed Stoke City. As a result, he is bound to be preferred over Butland, and it could all boil down to how well he performs against the big sides.

If he can keep his calm and composure, expect England to stake quite a claim for the trophy.
