Ross Barkley must go and Gareth Southgate needs Ben White to do a U-turn - but there's no room for Kobbie Mainoo! England's perfect Euro 2024 squad according to Premier League stats

The perfect England squad for Euro 2024, based on Opta's Premier League stats, has been created by <a href="https://www.betmgm.co.uk/" target="_blank">BetMGM</a> and thrown up some surprises. The stats show that Luton Town midfielder Ross Barkley deserves a place in the squad and Gareth Southgate really needs <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-ben-white-hasn-t-been-picked-england-squad-gareth-southgate-arsenal/blte7903265b8c9a50f" target="_blank">Ben White make himself available for England selection once again</a>. Barkley is the only Premier League player to rack up more than 30 shots, create over 30 chances, complete more than 30 dribbles and make 30-plus tackles since the turn of December. In defence, Kieran Trippier and Trent Alexander-Arnold are the only top-flight defenders with more goal involvements than White.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The stats also suggest there's no room in the squad for Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo. The midfielder looks set to make a late charge for a place on the plane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-wonderkid-kobbie-mainoo-called-england-senior-squad-first-time-after-majestic-performance-fa-cup-classic-against-liverpool/bltfa6da5efbfd6db41" target="_blank">after shining for the Red Devils</a> and impressing in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kobbie-mainoo-england-winners-losers-three-lions-brazil-belgium-clashes/blt22f8f6f2ec92abc0#cs5cadae418aeaed18" target="_blank">England's friendlies against Belgium and Brazil</a>. Yet Mainoo's late burst onto the scene means the midfielder has only made 14 appearances this season, giving him little opportunity to impress the statisticians.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Southgate has said the door is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gareth-southgate-england-defensive-injury-problems-door-open-ben-white-return-euro-2024/blt370f9f4d1877a27d" target="_blank">still open for White to return to the England squad</a>, although it remains to be seen if the defender will change his stance. The England manager also talked up Mainoo after being impressed by the Manchester United academy graduate.He told reporters: "He gives us a different profile of midfield player to anything else we’ve got and we’re really pleased with what he's done. You can’t believe his age really. His attributes are there for everybody to see, that ability to receive under pressure and ride challenges, to manipulate the ball in tight areas."
