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.
