Gareth Southgate’s side also recorded a comprehensive 2-0 victory against Ukraine in the last contest between the two teams in March.

The fixture also offers two uncapped England players the chance to impress and Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah will both hope to build on their success with the Under-21 team.
