They are both set to keep their places in the team despite the interim boss making some changes to the line-up for the second Nations League game at Wembley.

Carsley is set to swap three of his back four, with John Stones, Ezri Konsa and Rico Lewis coming in.

They will replace Harry Maguire, Marc Guehi and Levi Colwill in the starting XI.

In midfield, it is predicted that Angel Gomes will make his first start for England.

The 24-year-old Lille star made his debut against Ireland and tonight is again likely to replace Kobbie Mainoo.

Jordan Pickford, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Grealish, Anthony Gordon, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane will keep their spots in the team.

It will be Kane’s 100th appearance for England and he will be presented with a special gold cap ahead of kick-off.

He joins Peter Shilton, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Bobby Moore, Ashley Cole, Bobby Charlton, Frank Lampard and Billy Wright in the Three Lions one hundred club.

Kane is England‘s all-time top scorer with 66 goals and he is targeting another milestone for his country.

Asked if he could find the back of the net 100 times on the international stage before hanging up his boots, Kane said: “It is definitely possible.

“I am in a good place and this is a good target to try to reach.

“Some may see it as unrealistic but I would rather go for it and not quite make it than be comfortable saying, ‘I will be happy with 70 or 80 goals’.”
