'I am not oblivious to errors' - Southgate opens battle for England No 1 between Pickford, Henderson and Pope

Gareth Southgate has declined to back Jordan Pickford as his No 1 for England, opening the door to Manchester United's Dean Henderson and Burnley's Nick Pope.

England have a trio of fixtures in the next week, with a friendly against Wales on Thursday followed by two UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium and Denmark.

With Pickford having struggled for form in the past year with Everton, Southgate has opened the door to competition and he will use the upcoming friendly to start Henderson or Pope.
