Harry Kane, Saka, Harvey Elliott, Declan Rice, Joe Gomez, Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham are among the players born in London.
England have one of the most valuable teams in international competitions. Recently, they won 2-1 against Italy in the Euro 2024 qualifying round thanks to the goals of Rice and Kane. However, Luke Shaw was sent off in the 80th minute but the Three Lions won the match.
Harry Kane became England's all-time leading scorer after scoring against Italy. Kane has surpassed Wayne Rooney's record for most international goals.
Bukayo Saka also featured against Italy and was substituted after 85 minutes. The Arsenal forward has established himself as a first-team starter under Gareth Southgate. Saka has maintained very consistent form for club and country. He is also one of the most valuable players in the world right now. Declan Rice struggled to maintain a consistent form for West Ham United but was one of the best players on the pitch in England's win over Italy. Rice opened the scoring for his team in the 13th minute before Harry Kane netted from the penalty spot.
Reece James has withdrawn from the England squad with a minor hamstring injury. The 23-year-old Chelsea defender has struggled with injury this season and his latest injury is a heavy blow for the club and country.
He made the following statement about James:
"Reece James has withdrawn from the England squad and will not play against Ukraine. The full-back has returned to Chelsea for an assessment of an ongoing matter."
Here's how England can line up with only London-born players
Tammy Abraham, Jadon Sancho, Saka and Kane are forwards while Elliott and Declan Rice are midfielders. Mitchell, Kilman, Joe Gomez and Reece James are defenders while Woodman is the goalkeeper.

Teddy Sheringham had a few words for David Beckham ahead of his iconic goal
One of David Beckham's England teammates tried to stop him from taking his iconic free-kick against Greece in a World Cup qualifier - because he missed the previous attempt.
Teddy Sheringham has now admitted he tried to steal the ball from his captain in the dying moments of the game as England needed a point to secure their spot in the 2002 World Cup final.
More than 21 years later, the former Manchester United and Tottenham forward has explained what he said as Beckham stacked the ball - before it flew into the high corner.
Appearing on talkSPORT, Sheringham said:
"Becks had six free kicks that day. He hit the Z line, the keeper saved it. As I walked, I said:
"Becks, let me get it". I said:
'you can't even reach from here, step into the wall'.
"I was thinking:
'Okay, you're a better free kick taker than me, you can take one more shot'."

He then reached the quarterfinals in Shizuoka before being eliminated by Brazil, with Beckham playing for his country until 2009.
Interim coach Peter Taylor was the first to hand the captain's armband to Beckham in 2000, and Sven-Goran Eriksson later accepted the move after taking on the role for a long time.
Talking about Beckham's time as captain, former British sports massage therapist Rod Thornley said Gary Neville is a person of great merit. October 6, 2001:

Thornley, who has also been a close friend of Wayne Rooney for two decades, revealed the inside information in a conversation with Fore Four 2.
Speaking of the former winger, Thornley said:
“Becks is directed more by Gary Neville. As much as he is the captain. Becks is quiet, timid and shy. He really is. Gary sang and that and said."
Thornley added that although Neville is very supportive of United, divisions between the clubs have softened in the camp - saying he has always had a very good setup.
