The latest episode of the Squawka Talker podcast looks at how Gareth Southgate's England midfield could line up at Qatar 2022 and beyond.

Host Feargal Brennan is joined by Squawka's Chief Football Writer Muhammad Butt and Football London journalist Kaya Kaynak to take a deep dive into Southgate's midfield options moving into the World Cup next year and future tournaments.

Southgate opted for the safety at Euro 2020 with a double pivot of Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips but will he move with the times and opt for a single deep-lying midfielder? Is Marcelo Bielsa's lynchpin the man for the job or can Rice shoulder the weight alone?

And what about the Lions Cubs? England are blessed with a slew of young midfield, can any of them can force their way into Southgate's thinking.

Conor Gallagher is the poster boy for Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace and Emile Smith-Rowe is the reason for Arsenal's upturn in form. Finally, Phil Foden is scaling new heights at Manchester City in a left-wing role - but will his home be at the heart of Southgate's midfield?
