England v Netherlands: Preview and possible line-ups

TEAM NEWS:

England: There were 7 Englishmen involved in the Champions League final, with the players meeting up just 72 hours after the victory. Harry Kane was poor in his first game back and is expected to miss out, leaving Marcus Rashford the obvious man to lead the line. Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho will likely be the two men on the flanks. There are a lack of options in midfield, with Eric Dier a possibility to be used. John Stones and Harry Maguire are likely to be the defensive duo once again following their superb World Cup together.

Netherlands: Virgil Van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum are back in the Dutch squad following their Champions League victory. Van Dijk's importance to the team may well mean he will be thrown straight into the heart of the Dutch defender. Ryan Babel has become a regular for Koeman, with Steven Bergwijn and Quincy Promes battling for the same starting spot and Memphis Depay likely to start in the middle. 

FORM GUIDE:

POSSIBLE TEAMS:

Netherlands: Cillessen; Dumfries, Van Dijk, De Ligt, Blind; De Beek, De Jong, De Roon; Bergwijn, Depay, Babel.

England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell; Barkley, Rice, Dier; Sancho, Rashford, Sterling.
