Here, SunSport brings you the most likely players to make Southgate's squad for each position.
Goalkeepers
Everton's Jordan Pickford is England's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper and is certain to make the squad at 1/80. Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale and Newcastle stopper Nick Pope should join him at 1/14 and 11/4 respectively.
- Jordan Pickford 1/80
- Aaron Ramsdale 1/14
- Nick Pope 2/9
- Jack Butland 11/4
Defenders
Fresh from their title success, Manchester City's Kyle Walker and John Stones are the most likely to be selected. Trent Alexander-Arnold is offered at 1/14, along with Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier at 1/9.
Chelsea's Ben Chilwell (3/10) should be among Southgate's options despite having made only 13 league appearances this season. Younger talents in Marc Guehi and Jarrad Branthwaite are also expected to make the cut.
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw, who's earned 31 caps for England, is priced at 8/15 having not made an appearance since around early February. There are, however, doubts around Joe Gomez and Reece James with the Chelsea captain available at 6/4 to make the squad.
- John Stones 1/18
- Kyle Walker 1/25
- Trent Alexander-Arnold 1/14
- Harry Maguire 1/9
- Kieran Trippier 1/9
- Ben Chilwell 3/10
- Marc Guehi 3/10
- Jarrad Branthwaite 1/4
- Luke Shaw 8/15

- Levi Colwill 23/10
- Rico Lewis 10/3
- Fikayo Tomori 10/3
Midfielders
The likes of Bellingham and Declan Rice pick themselves at 1/50, as does Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and United's teenage talent Kobbie Mainoo. There could be a surprise in store with Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton priced at 3/1 to get a place in the squad after an impressive 2024 at Selhurst Park. Elsewhere, Marcus Rashford is odds-on at 1/2 to make the squad, with Jarrod Bowen 4/5.
- Declan Rice 1/50
- Jude Bellingham 1/50
- Cole Palmer 1/14
- Conor Gallagher 1/10

- Harvey Elliott 5/1
- Kalvin Phillips 11/2
- Curtis Jones 15/2
- James Ward Prowse 15/2
Forwards
There's little doubt that Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden will be included at 1/50, while Ollie Watkins is almost certain to be Kane's deputy in attack at 1/7. The impressive Anthony Gordon should feature, but there's a few doubts over Marcus Rashford and Ivan Toney.
- Harry Kane 1/50
- Bukayo Saka 1/50
- Phil Foden 1/50
- Ollie Watkins 1/7
- Anthony Gordon 3/10
- Marcus Rashford 1/2
- Ivan Toney 8/15
- Jarrod Bowen 4/5
- Eberechi Eze 5/6
Betfair spokesperson, Sam Rosbottom said: "England are the 3/1 favourites to win Euro 2024 as Gareth Southgate prepares to name his training squad for this summer’s tournament.
"And despite a short Premier League career to date, Betfair make Adam Wharton just 3/1 to storm into the squad this summer after ending the season in fine form for Crystal Palace.
"Wharton’s form has been mirrored by teammate Eberechi Eze, who is odds-on at 5/6 to make the squad, with Marcus Rashford 1/2 and Jarrod Bowen 4/5 to be on the plane to Germany."
