LET'S TALK ABOUT SIX MAYBES

YOUR age will have a lot to do with any list of the most underrated England players of all time - but there are probably a couple of shoo-ins from the past few decades.
THOMAS TUCHEL can clinch World Cup qualification in Riga tomorrow night.
Having conquered that hurdle, he will then face a much greater challenge - fitting so much talent into a starting XI.
The England boss arguably has just five nailed-on starters for next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Jordan Pickford, Marc Guehi, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane pretty much know that if they are fit then they will be the first five names on the team sheet.
But Tuchel now has fierce competition, not just for places in the squad, but also in the starting XI And there can be no doubt that - just eight months before the tournament - it is unusual to have so many slots up for grabs.
Under former boss Gareth Southgate, it was fairly easy to second guess his first choice line-up if all were fit and available.
The keeper was settled, the back four picked itself and Southgate had his favourites elsewhere.
Tuchel has craved the competition and it feels like he is enjoying the current squad fighting hard to ensure they keep their places in the team.
Pickford is the undisputed No1. Guehi is England's most reliable defender.
