Thomas Tuchel is prepared to make big changes to his England starting XI tonight for their World Cup qualifier against Latvia.
The new era got off to a winning start on Friday night with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane on target at Wembley against Albania.
The Arsenal youngster got his international career off to a perfect start, given the nod at left-back where there is a desperate lack of options in the current squad.
Tino Livramento has slotted into that role for Newcastle United in recent weeks with Lewis Hall injured but was an unused substitute last week, cut from the squad ahead of tonight.
That decision would suggest Lewis-Skelly will be given another run out at left-back.
Marc Guehi, one of England’s best players over the last 12 months, was left out last week along with Levi Colwill as Ezri Konsa and Dan Burn were given the nod.
Guehi and Colwill will hope to come into the side tonight with Reece James making his first England appearance in two years off the bench late on against Albania.
In the middle of the park, options are fairly limited with Morgan Rogers hoping to build on the 16 minutes he got off the bench last time out.
Club managers will be desperate for their players to be wrapped in cotton wool and shipped back to their clubs safe and sound this week as the business end of the season looms large.
England squad vs Latvia tonight
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), James Trafford (Burnley)
Defenders: Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Reece James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (AC Milan, loan from Manchester City)
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Jordan Henderson (Ajax), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
Forwards: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa, loan from Manchester United), Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur)
Declan Rice played 82 minutes against Albania and while Tuchel is wary of overworking the group, he appeared to have little sympathy for Arsenal after their decision to play the midfielder in the second leg of their Champions League dead rubber against PSV Eindhoven.
With Anthony Gordon sent home after he was forced off injured against Albania, Morgan Gibbs-White is back in the squad.
He and Rogers will both be hoping to get minutes tonight along with wide options Jarrod Bowen and Eberechi Eze.
Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford were both taken off by Tuchel who has some stern words for the pair after underwhelming displays against Albania.
