England kick off against Italy at 8pmpm GMT

After England’s encouraging win over the Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff arena on Friday, their next test comes in the form of Italy, who come to Wembley for this international friendly.

Italy did not qualify for the upcoming World Cup, but still have a lot of quality throughout their squad, and very experienced defenders. It will by no means be an easy task for England to win tonight, although they will definitely look to take the game to the visitors.

England line up as follows:

It looks as though Kyle Walker will continue in his role on the right of a back three while James Tarkowski makes his debut. Oxlade-Chamberlain keeps his place after a solid performance against the Netherlands, and Dier steps in for Henderson as the holding midfielder.
