The versatile 28-year-old is now as short as 1/6 to be on the plane to Russia.
Bookmakers make Fabian Delph a shoo-in for the England squad despite him not featuring for the Three Lions since 2015.
The Man City makeshift left-back is now as short as 1/6 with one bookmaker to go to the World Cup, whilst 4/9 is the best price still on offer.
Just one week ago the Premier League winner was as big as 5/2. However, since then, Delph has been the most backed player through Oddschecker, accounting for 11.6% of all bets.
There’s plenty of strong competition for the England left back spot with Danny Rose (1/2), Ryan Bertrand (2/5) and Ashley Young (2/5) all odds-on with the bookies.
Nevertheless, Southgate knows Delph can play full-back, wing-back and central midfield and this versatility is likely to work massively in his favour.
Oddschecker spokesman, George Elek 'In tournament football versatility is a huge advantage for squad hopefuls, and Delph certainly offers that. It could mean either Bertrand or Young, both short odds-on, could miss out.'
