This could be England's first XI line up under Sam Allardyce

 

Sam Allardyce considered a 4-3-3 formation during his stay in Sunderland last season, but England are not favoured with in-form wingers or wide forwards.
That might leave him pondering a 4-4-2 diamond formation, often utilised during his West Ham stint, that allows for a pair of scorers and an energetic midfield. 
England football reporter Rory Dollard offers the hint Wednesday as Allardyce is set to take over.
