They will also be hoping improve on their showing from Euro 2016 when they were knocked out by Iceland.

Marcus Rashford resumed training with England on Friday according to The Telegraph following a knee complaint, however, as per the report Southgate may start with Raheem Sterling upfront alongside Tottenham star striker Harry Kane.

As per Sky Sports, the Three Lions are expected to start Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young and Harry Maguire with Eric Dier getting the nod ahead of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson in midfield.

The Telegraph report that Tunisia playmaker Youssef Msakni will be missing for six months with a cruciate knee injury.

England fans may remember that the last time the two sides met was at the 1998 World Cup when goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes ensured a 2-0 win for the Three Lions, can Southgate’s men repeat this 20 years later?
