Several players who appeared in the Euro 2020 final are likely to start on Sunday, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defenders Kyle Walker and John Stones, midfielder Declan Rice and captain Harry Kane.
Up to 50,000 England fans are expected to be in Germany’s capital for the showpiece, with millions more cheering the team back home.
“The only reason I took the job on was to try to bring success to the nation and improve English football,” said Southgate, who has guided England to back-to-back European Championship finals, as well as the 2018 World Cup semi-final and 2022 World Cup quarter-final, since taking charge in 2016.
“I am immensely proud to take this team to a final overseas. It will be a huge task but we are still here and fighting.”
