England v Switzerland (King Power Stadium, Tuesday, 2000 BST, Sky Sports Main Event)
England will be looking to bounce back from an angry defeat to Spain when they take on Switzerland at Leicester City's King Power Stadium.
The Three Lions felt that they had a late equaliser wrongly disallowed by the referee in Saturday's UEFA Nations League loss to the 2010 World Cup winners, and they'll be out to end this international break on a high here.
Gareth Southgate is thinking about making up to nine changes to his starting XI for this one, which could see the likes of James Tarkowski and Ruben Loftus-Cheek get minutes.
Tarkowski has been in good goalscoring form as a centre-back for Burnley this season, netting twice in four Premier League games.
England's reliance on set-pieces at the World Cup was evident. Southgate's men scored six goals from set-pieces in total at the tournament, more than any of the other 31 nations.
They will look to play to their strengths, which is why corners could be key for England going forward.
Someone like Tarkowski has already proved this season that he can get himself in the right position to find the net. It does come down to team selection, but if the England boss does elect to give the Clarets' defender a start then the 14/1 price on his to score anytime looks overpriced.
On that topic of team news, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is another player who could be named in the starting side after appearances at the summer's tournament in Russia.
The 22-year-old may have struggled for game time with Chelsea so far this season, but his performances on-loan at Crystal Palace during the last campaign more than warrants his place in the England set-up.
Despite missing parts of that season with differing injuries, the 22-year-old still managed to play a part in seven goals for a Palace side who endured a slow start before eventually finishing just outside of the top-half.
Loftus-Cheek seems the natural replacement for Dele Alli if changes are coming, and he is someone who is capable of finding the net.
He added to England's attacking threat during the World Cup. He was someone who was eager on driving at the defence with the ball, looking to get his side in better positions for goal.
You imagine it will be more of the same from him on Tuesday night, in a game that England will be confident of winning.
Score prediction: England 2-0 Switzerland (Sky Bet odds: 6/1)
Best bet: James Tarkowski to score anytime at 14/1
