England will be looking to put on a show as they welcome Australia to Wembley Stadium for a rare international friendly.

ngland are expected to make a fair few changes for the friendly with Australia, though that doesn't mean they'll be any less dangerous.

The likes of Ollie Watkins, Levi Colwill, Eddie Nketiah, Conor Gallagher and Jarrod Bowen will be chomping at the bit to impress Gareth Southgate should they feature this Friday night.

The Three Lions are in fine form, winning five of their six games since the World Cup. Southgate's men have scored 15 goals across their last four outings and are looking to build momentum ahead of Tuesday's qualifier against Italy.

Australia, meanwhile, arrive at Wembley having won just one of their four matches since the World Cup.

In fairness to the Socceroos, they have beefed up their level of opposition in recent months, taking on the likes of Mexio and Argentina in friendlies.

Despite this, England remain favourites to walk away victorious – especially on home turf.

Our recommendation is to back an England win and over 2.5 goals.

Team news

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has joined England's lengthy injury list which now includes Ben Chilwell, Luke Shaw, Reece James, Callum Wilson, Eberechi Eze and Tyrone Mings.
