We take a look ahead to Sunday's World Cup qualifier between Lithuania and England at LFF Stadionas.

Lithuania:

Marius Papsys could start against the Three Lions after coming off the bench to help save a 1-1 draw against Malta on Thursday.

England:

Having already qualified for next summer's showpiece event in Russia, Gareth Southgate is expected to ring the changes for England's final World Cup qualifier.

He could try an experimental 3-4-3 formation and hand Harry Winks and Harry Maguire their England Debuts off the Bench.

Jack Butland will start in goal, with Southgate still to determine his favoured man between the sticks.

Predicted lineups:

Lithuania: Zubas; Vaitkunas, Mikuckis, Girdvainis, Vytas; Slivka, Kuklys; Novikovas, Papsys, Cernych; Matulevicius

England: Butland; Keane, Stones, Cahill; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Dier, Cresswell; Sterling, Kane, Alli
