England team news: Sterling provides Kane support in quarter-final clash with Sweden

Raheem Sterling has retained his place in the England side and will once again provide attacking support for Harry Kane in a World Cup quarter-final clash with Sweden.

Having seen his team take in 120 minutes of last-16 action before overcoming Colombia on penalties, Gareth Southgate had the option to rotate tired legs out of his XI.

He has, however, resisted that urge and kept faith in those who have carried the Three Lions this far.

That means Manchester City forward Sterling will operate off central striker and team captain Kane – who will be eager to add to his Golden Boot-leading six goals so far.
