England travel to Croatia on Saturday aiming to extend their impressive run of eight consecutive away victories. The Nations League Group A3 fixture in Rijeka comes after a 2-0 win in Prague that kept them top of their World Cup qualifying group.
Thomas Tuchel said his squad is "brimming with confidence after securing a disciplined 2-0 away victory over Czechia". That result, with goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane, leaves England first in World Cup qualifying with seven points from three games, one point clear of their upcoming opponents.
Jude Bellingham is expected to return to the starting lineup after appearing as a substitute last time out. James Garner and Alex Scott could make their first competitive starts, while Jarrad Branthwaite and Ezri Konsa are in contention for defensive roles. Goalkeeper James Trafford, who started against Czechia, may rotate with Jordan Pickford again.
For Croatia, veteran Luka Modrić is set to start in midfield at the age of 41. Coach Slaven Bilić is without defenders Martin Erlić and Josip Juranović, but Josip Stanišić is likely to return from injury. The last meeting between the sides was a 4-2 win for England in June.
The match kicks off at 17:00 BST on Saturday at the Stadion Rujevica. England's full schedule and the latest squad news are available on our fixtures and squad pages.
