Team news
Slovenia travel to Wembley knowing they stand a great chance of earning the playoff spot. England, who are favorites to finish as group winners, beat second-placed Slovakia to help their Thursday opponents move within a point of second spot.
The Three Lions, who are one victory away from sealing an automatic qualification for the 2018 World Cup, will unfortunately be without key midfielder Dele Alli. The Tottenham ace was caught on camera making an offensive gesture and has thus been slapped with a one-match suspension by FIFA.
In-form striker Harry Kane will lead England’s attack, as he looks to continue his impressive form after scoring 13 goals for club and country in September.
The Spurs ace could be partnered by Marcus Rashford, who helped the Three Lions come from behind to win 2-1 against Slovakia – their closest rivals. Raheem Sterling has also been called up incase Gareth Southgate is in need of goals.
