Southgate yet to decide on England goalkeeper confirms Pickford

Jordan Pickford has confirmed England boss Gareth Southgate has yet to decide who his number one goalkeeper will be at next month's World Cup.

The Everton shot-stopper is the favourite to beat out Stoke City's Jack Butland and Burnley's Nick Pope for the starting spot for the Three Lions first group game against Tunisia.

But Pickford insists the decision hasn't been revealed to the squad.

"None of us know yet," said Pickford.

"But me, Popey and But are all working hard, pushing each other so it is all competition.

"The manager knows what I'm capable of so hopefully, he's got trust in me."
