(Reuters) - England's first tournament qualifying defeat in 10 years on Friday was not a cause for panic but the uncertainty over their best formation has given manager Gareth Southgate plenty to ponder ahead of Monday's Euro 2020 qualifier in Bulgaria.

Top of Group A with a far superior goal difference despite the 2-1 defeat away to the Czech Republic, England are still set to reach their sixth straight finals but any success at next year's tournament could come down to resolving tactical flaws.
