Southgate delayed his final choices because of the number of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United players involved in the two European club finals.
It will also give Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson extra time to work on his fitness after his long lay-off following groin surgery.
But his Reds team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold is still sweating over his place.
The 22-year-old was not selected for the three World Cup qualifiers in March due to his loss of form, with his most recent cap coming against Belgium in October.
Despite an improved end to the season, he has struggled to convince Southgate despite his offensive strengths.
Now the Three Lions boss must make big decisions on his right-backs with Chelsea’s Reece James also at risk.
West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone is set to replace injured Burnley star Nick Pope.
The Dortmund duo of Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho are likely to be included.
