Gareth Southgate is expected to stick with the same starting XI who defeated Senegal 3-0 in the round of 16 last time out, according to leaks doing the rounds.
Sky Sports have reported the Three Lions head coach will also remain with the same 4-2-3-1 formation, which has been his go-to system throughout the tournament so far.
That can also be adapted to a 3-5-2, which had been tipped to make its introduction this evening to combat the pace of dangerman Kylian Mbappe.
The only concern for Southgate was the fitness of Declan Rice after he missed Wednesday’s training through illness, but he has recovered and is available.
The leaks suggest that in-from Marcus Rashford will again miss out and will have to settle for a place on the bench, along with Pompey boy Mason Mount.
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling returned to the camp on Friday after flying home following a suspected robbery at his home earlier in the week.

The Manchester United defender has started every game at left-back in the tournament to date. His performances have gone under the radar and has solidified that position as his own with Trippier also capable of featuring on the left flank. Photo: PABLO PORCIUNCULA

6. CM: Jordan Henderson
Fans have been critical of his involvement into the team but has been one of the standout performers for the Three Lions so far. He opened the scoring against Senegal last time out and the leaks predict Southgate to give the Liverpool skipper the nod over the fit again Kalvin Phillips. Photo: PAUL ELLIS

7. CM: Declan Rice
The West Ham midfielder was the only concern ahead of the game after he missed Wednesday’s training through illness. However, the 23-year-old has made a full recovery and the leaks expect him to partner Henderson in the engine room. Photo: PAUL ELLIS

8. RW: Bukayo Saka
The Arsenal youngster has given fans a real insight into the England camp with videos of his team mates on Tik Tok. Saka has impressed throughout the competition, netting three goals and is only behind Lionel Messi and Mbappe in the goal-scoring charts. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
