Who is a certain starter? How England's players rated against Japan

England were beaten 1-0 by Japan in their last friendly before Thomas Tuchel names his World Cup squad.

BBC Sport football news reporter Alex Howell rates how the players performed at Wembley - and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too.

Jordan Pickford: Japan's opening goal was the first time Pickford had conceded for England in 922 minutes. He had to produce a smart save in the second half to keep the hosts in the game. 6

Ben White: Beaten once early on but showed the consistency he has done for Arsenal after that. A constant hard-working presence down the right-hand side. One particularly good overlapping run in the first half. 6

Ezri Konsa: In with a big chance of starting the first game at the World Cup. One crucial block to deny Ayase Ueda with the shot hitting the bar and going over. 6

Marc Guehi: Given the armband by Tuchel for the first time. A couple of shaky moments early on but after that as dependable as ever. 6

Nico O'Reilly: Another important game for O'Reilly as he makes the left-back position his own before the summer. He showed his ability on the ball and moved into midfield whenever he could. 7

Kobbie Mainoo: A bright start and some nice footwork when moving the ball around midfield. Beaten a couple of times on Japan attacks when trying to defend. 6

Elliot Anderson: A certain starter at the World Cup. Assured in midfield, provided a drive to England's play and tried to make things happen. One of the better performers on the night and clipped the crossbar with a good effort. 7

Cole Palmer: The Chelsea attacker was given the nod as the number 10 over Phil Foden who played as a false nine. There was always a sense that something could happen when Palmer was on the ball. However, he was caught on the ball and punished for Japan's opener. Came off just before the hour mark. 6

Morgan Rogers: Started on the right wing and asked to provide a threat through the middle with no natural striker in the starting line-up. Not his best position but did the job that was asked of him. 6

Anthony Gordon: Put in another energetic performance with lots of hard work but not many moments to threaten the Japan defence. 5

Phil Foden: The Man City forward started as a false nine as Tuchel looks for a position for him in England's squad. It was not a good night for Foden who will be worried about his place on the plane for the World Cup. Replaced in the 59th minute. 5

Tino Livramento: Given trouble by the tricky Keito Nakamura when he came on. Livramento will go to the World Cup and can play on either side of the defence. 5

Lewis Hall: Given 30 minutes by Tuchel as he looks to secure his place for the World Cup. Saw a late chance well saved but other chances to get forward were few and far between as Japan defended well. 5

Jarrod Bowen: It has never really clicked for Bowen in an England shirt and with all the substitutions late on the England attacks never felt fluid. 6

Dominic Solanke: Brought on as a traditional focal point after Foden was given the chance as a false nine. Played well against Uruguay but not much to show this evening as the game became disjointed. 5

James Garner: The Everton midfielder always looked to get on the ball. Kept things simple but behind Anderson in the midfield picks. 5

Marcus Rashford: The game was disjointed due to all the changes when Rashford came on. Provided a threat for England and had their first shot on target as they chased the game. 6

Harry Maguire: A late substitute but nearly scored with his first touch as his header from a corner was cleared off the line. Was a constant threat from set-pieces late on. 6

Dan Burn: Well liked by Tuchel and brought on with Maguire as England's first-choice centre-backs were replaced. 6
