England were beaten 1-0 by Italy on Friday and relegated from their Nations League group
England have failed to win in five and haven’t scored from open play since March, which isn’t ideal.
Southgate regulars such as Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw have struggled to get playing time this year and he doesn’t seem to know his best side.
But despite that, big changes are to be expected from the side that lost on Friday night.
And Germany doesn’t look good either, so there could be a lot of changes there too.
Here talkSPORT.com looked at how each team could start at Wembley…
England
The Three Lions only have Jordan Henderson to worry about.
The Liverpool captain missed a few weeks with a hamstring problem but was called up to the squad as a late replacement for Kalvin Phillips.
He is therefore unlikely to play a role in Monday’s game.
But there should be a lot of rotation as a few players try to make the starting XI for the Iran clash.
Aaron Ramsdale is set to replace Nick Pope following the Newcastle United goalkeeper’s departure on Friday.
In defence, expect to see John Stones return from his suspension and AC Milan star Fikayo Tomori replacing Harry Maguire in the bottom three.
Kieran Trippier has previously played at left-back for Southgate, so he could come in with Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell lacking in match sharpness.
On the other side, Trent Alexander-Arnold might have the chance to impress in an England shirt.
In midfield, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham look like a good mix of power and creativity.
Harry Kane will start up front, leaving Ivan Toney and Tammy Abraham battling for a place on the bench.
Southgate are heavily valuing Mason Mount, so expect to see him involved while Jack Grealish is expected to fill a spot on the left.
Southgate unlikely to hesitate from their three favorites at the back
Germany
Hansi Flick’s side have been hit by a wave of Covid and illness, which forced Manuel Neuer, Leon Goretzka and Julian Brandt out of the squad.
This means Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen should keep his place in goal.
West Ham’s Thilo Kehrer came off the bench against Hungary and replaced the right-back and he will likely keep his place.
Antonio Rudiger is suspended, so Nico Schlotterbeck will join Borussia Dortmund team-mate Niklas Sule in the heart of defence.
RB Leipzig’s David Raum is a major weapon for Flick and will most likely be at left-back.
Ilkay Gundogan and Joshua Kimmich are the obvious choices in the middle, while Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala could show England what they’ve been missing out on.
Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry will be behind Kai Havertz after Timo Werner struggled to impress against Hungary.
Musiala will want to show England what they could have had
