Wembley provides the backdrop and Iceland are the opponents for England’s final fixture before heading to Germany.
After a surprisingly intense start, England cruised to victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday with second-half goals from Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harry Kane.
As news of the final squad is being drip fed, expect Gareth Southgate to name a much stronger side than the one he fielded at St James’ Park.
What are the best bets?
England limited Bosnia to almost nothing in that match. Haris Hajradinovic had the visitors' only attempt, which was blocked.
Even if Southgate makes wholesale changes defensively, the Three Lions should keep Iceland at bay.
Preparation for the Euros is ramping up which should see the return of several big hitters to the starting line-up and backing ENGLAND TO WIN TO NIL ultimately paid out against Bosnia, so I expect it to again against Iceland.
Team news
England’s final squad for Euro 2024 has to be submitted by midnight Friday June 7.
This week England were boosted by the news Luke Shaw is back on the grass. This fixture will come too soon for the left back and the Euros remain touch-and-go.
After getting cut from the final squad, Curtis Jones and James Maddison have left the England camp. Jarell Quansah, Jack Grealish and James Trafford are also expected to be omitted which bodes well for Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton’s chances of being involved in Germany.
Marc Guehi and Lewis Dunk are vying for the left centre back spot and it is the latter who looks primed to make his full England debut after an impressive cameo earlier in the week.
Harry Kane managed to shake off an issue coming off the bench to score against Bosnia. Southgate may opt to start the Three Lions skipper from the off or take the opportunity to have another look at Ivan Toney who is playing for his place on the plane.
Anthony Gordon didn’t make the squad at St James’ Park with an injury and may miss out on Friday although the winger will be desperate to stake one final claim for the Euros.
Jude Bellingham, Kobbie Mainoo and Kyle Walker all missed Monday’s game with club commitments but are available here.
Odds correct at 1600 BST (06/06/24)
