Confirmed lineups for North Macedonia v England qualifier

England, who face North Macedonia in Skopje on Monday, are all but assured of being among the top seeds in next month's draw for the finals in Germany.

The Three Lions were disappointing in Friday's 2-0 victory against Malta at Wembley and will be keen to improve against lowly North Macedonia, whom they hammered 7-0 at Old Trafford in June.

Meanwhile, the hosts have won only two of their last five international matches - against Malta in the Euro qualifiers 2024 and against Armenia in an international friendly.

Qualification's done. With the games at the weekend, we might be ranked third in the world at the minute, but we're two places off where we need to be so we can't waste games," the England boss told British media ahead of the Group C finale.

North Macedonia starting XI: Dimitrievski (GK); Manev, Serafimov, Musliu; Dimoski, Bardhi, Atanasov, Alimi, Alioski; Miovski and Elmas.

England starting XI: Pickford (GK); Lewis, Guehi, Maguire, Walker; Grealish, Rice, Foden, Alexander-Arnold, Saka; Watkins.
