Southgate convinced he's right to pick Luke and Harry

The fact neither have started in the Premier League since the 4-0 defeat to Brentford in the second weekend of the season hasn't stopped the England manager from including them in his line-up.

Maguire started both games against Italy and Germany and still looks set to be in the line-up for the opening match of the World Cup against Iran.

While Shaw came off the bench against in Milan but started at Wembley on Monday night.

And Southgate insists they will continue to be in contention even if they aren't playing regularly for the Reds.
