Joe Hart, Jack Butland, Jordan Pickford, Fraser Forster, Tom Heaton and Nick Pope: The race to be England’s goalkeeper at the World Cup

Some team selection decisions for this summer’s World Cup will be easier than others for England manager Gareth Southgate.

One that might prove difficult is choosing three goalkeepers out of six who play in the Premier League and in particular selecting a No 1.

With just three months to go until England’s opening Group G match against Tunisia, Joe Hart, Jack Butland, Jordan Pickford, Fraser Forster, Tom Heaton and Nick Pope will all be looking to impress.

There might be a clue as to who Southgate sees as his top three when he selects his squad for the friendlies against Holland and Italy later this month.
