After his side laboured to a 2-0 win over Malta at Wembley on Friday, Gareth Southgate has demanded an improved performance in their final Euro 2024 qualifier.
Bukayo Saka (left, in training yesterday) and Declan Rice are expected to come back into the team, while 18-year-old Manchester City defender Rico Lewis is in line to make his debut at left-back.
Despite an underwhelming display against Malta, there is no doubt it has been a positive year for England.
They are unbeaten in 10 matches since losing to France in the World Cup quarter-finals last December - and the reverse fixture against North Ma was probably the high point.
England produced their most well-rounded display of the year when they thrashed tonight's opponents 7-0 at Old Trafford in June.
Their forward line that night was irresistible, Harry Kane, Saka and Marcus Rashford linking well with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who could again play in midfield tonight.
