Lee Carsley confirmed that Harry Kane will begin towards the Republic of Eire having been a second-half substitute towards Greece in the course of the week. Ezri Konsa went off with a hip damage throughout that match so Jarell Quansah or Taylor Harwood-Bellis could also be in line for a debut.

Count on Carsley to make adjustments to the line-up with Jarrod Bowen, Morgan Rogers and Morgan Gibbs-White amongst those that may very well be awarded a beginning berth.

Eire’s Jason Knight collected a second yellow card of the group towards Finland on Thursday that means his is suspended for this match and Festy Ebosele had a knock and is a doubt for the sport.

Supervisor Heimir Hallgrimsson could determine to modify issues up and will convey Jayson Molumby into midfield to associate Josh Cullen whereas Troy Parrott would supply contemporary legs on the prime of the pitch.
