How Scotland have shown England the way to stop Switzerland and their carousel system, reveals MARTIN KEOWN in his tactical analysis

MARTIN KEOWN: One reason Gareth Southgate may switch to a back three would be his concern that the overworked Declan Rice would get outnumbered in midfield if England played a 4-3-3. The Arsenal man would be left with an opponent on either side of him as a consequence of Switzerland's carousel system which can see them end up in the old-fashioned W-M formation. This is accomplished by Murat Yakin sending two extra bodies into the midfield while the match is ongoing. Sometimes you will see their two forwards Fabian Rieder and Ruben Vargas withdrawing deep to fulfil that role. On other occasions the wing backs Dan Ndoye and Michel Aebischer move inside from their flanks, which is highly unusual. There is an incredible fluidity to how they do this - and that is something England will need to be wary of.
