Rashford shouldn't even be in the discussion.
That left spot should be out of Grealish/Foden. Rashford isn't fit enough to lace either of their boots.
I do think only the left spot is up for grabs at the moment as well.
Kane is obviously nailed for #9
Sake has that RW spot
Jude should be starting as the #10, or a very aggressive #8....leaving LW spot open for Foden/Grealish. And it would depend on the opposition who I'd play out.
I wouldn't be against dropping Jude to a #8, alongside Rice, and playing Foden as the #10 with Grealish LW. Jude is that good he can play any of the spots in the centre.
We are blessed with enormous amount of top class attacking talent. To leave someone like Maddison out shows how deep our squad is now.
If Southgate does opt for Jude as the #10...then I pray he doesn't partner Rice with Phillips or Gallagher or Henderson. All of them aren't good enough. Phillips shouldn't be in the squad purely based on the lack of games at club level (never mind the fact he's not good enough as well), Gallagher wouldn't be getting in if he didn't play for Chelsea - who have been nothing short of rubbish (for their high standards) for the best part of two seasons. And well, Henderson...the less said, the better.
