Picking Thomas Tuchel's first England squad

Thomas Tuchel will name his first England squad later this week, so Ali, George and Dave have gone through every area of the team to assess the choices the new gaffer has to wrestle with. Does Trent Alexander-Arnold finally have the right back slot all to himself? Will Lewis-Skelly take advantage of Lewis Hall's injury and get a first call up? Is it Guehi and one other at centre-back? Could Wharton get his competitive debut after not seeing the pitch at the Euros? Who plays on the right in Saka's absence? Which role will Bellingham play under Tuchel? Does Watkins have any chance of dislodging Harry Kane up top? And what about the stats which say James Trafford is the best goalkeeper in the world?
