LONDON (Reuters) - England coach Gareth Southgate has reverted to a back five for his side's Euro 2020 final clash against Italy at Wembley on Sunday, with Kieran Trippier coming in for Bukayo Saka.

Southgate elected to go with the five-man defence against Germany in the last 16 with Trippier at right wing back and Luke Shaw on the left in that win, and he has used the same formula for England's first European Championship final.
