Sam Allardyce has backed his Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to become England manager Gareth Southgate's World Cup number one.

Southgate has a choice to make ahead of this summer’s tournament, having selected four glovesmen in the squad for this week's friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy.

Pickford is widely expected to start in Friday’s game against the Dutch at the Amsterdam Arena, but Joe Hart, Jack Butland and Nick Pope are also in contention for the converted No.
