Does Thomas Tuchel know his strongest England XI yet? 

We assess the squad, debate his best starting lineup, and ask whether fans should trust his vision heading into the World Cup.

We'll also discuss Scotland's impressive form after eight goals in their warm-up matches and whether they could emerge as one of the tournament's surprise stories.

In Spain, Florentino Pérez has secured another term as Real Madrid president, with José Mourinho reportedly in line for a sensational return to the Bernabéu. We examine what it could mean for the club and for European football.

Plus, former England Test captain David Gower joins us to reflect on England's victory over New Zealand at Lord's, the key talking points from the opening Test, and the big selection dilemma ahead of the second match: if Jofra Archer is fit, does he come straight back into the side?
