Gareth Southgate has made 10 changes to his previous England lineup that took on Scotland back in September. The only played to retain their spot to face Australia is Lewis Dunk in defence.
He has handed a first England start to Levi Colwill at left-back in the absence of Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell, as well as starting the likes of Ollie Watkins, James Maddison and Jarrod Bowen who are all in brilliant form for their clubs.
Jack Grealish is welcomed back to the side after missing out due to injury in September, and Jordan Henderson captains England against Australia on his 79th appearance for his country.
