England Squad
Dominated largely by Everton (Kenny, Connolly, Lookman, Calvert-Lewin, Dowell). First team experience is spread throughout the squad, with the likes of Ojo, Solanke, Ejaria, Maitland-Niles, Onomah and Armstrong.
Favourites
France have a highly rated squad. Goalkeeper Alban Lafont has 2 seasons as Toulouse first choice despite being only 18 years old.
His team-mate, centre back Issa Diop, has also over 50 first team games and is being linked to a big money move to Chelsea among others.
In midfield, Christopher Nkunku has already forced himself into the PSG first team squad on a regular basis, while Lucas Tousart is a regular starter for Lyon. They should form a stand-out partnership at this tournament.
Allan Saint-Maximin and Jean-Kevin Augustin are highly rated attackers at Monaco and PSG respectively.
Other players to look out for
Rodrigo Bentancur is a Uruguayan playing for Argentinian side Boca Juniors, but will join Italian giants Juventus in the summer. He is a regular starter for Boca, a combative midfielder who can run midfield.
Giving Uruguay a fair bit of flair will be Rodrigo Amaral. Can play left or right, but is at his best centrally. Has first team experience with Nacional.
Lee Seung-woo is the hosts star man, and is known as the kid who is breaking Lionel Messi's records at Barca youth levels. Having already made his Barca B debut, the 19 year old will look to cement his hype as an exciting attacking player in his home country.
Rolando Mandragora made his Juventus debut in Serie A this season, albeit a brief appearance. With experience already with Genoa and Pescara, the midfielder is a good passer.
Portugal's Jose Gomes could be a good bet for top scorer. The Benfica kid took the golden boot at the U-17 Euros and has already had some league and Champions League experience at club level.
Another bet for top scorer will be Argentinian Lautaro Martinez. Already a regular at club level with Racing Club, Martinez is a clinical finisher at this level.

I'll watch the Argie game if I'm awake. England depress me at all levels though.
