England v Croatia confirmed lineups and team news

England will be looking to confirm a place in the knockout stages of the UEFA Nations League when they face Croatia tonight.

The Three Lions currently sit six points ahead of tonight's opponents in the Nations League standings, with a +21 goal difference also separating them, meaning that they are all-but secure in the top two of their group.

However, Thomas Tuchel's side can make absolutely sure of their passage to the quarter finals by earning one point from their final two matches, with a trip to world champions Spain still to come.

England captain Harry Kane, who is currently the tournament's leading scorer with six goals so far, is in line to break Peter Shilton's record for all-time England appearances tonight.
