England team news
Bukayo Saka had to be hauled off at half-time of Friday's win at Malta with an ankle injury.
Though Gareth Southgate insisted this was a precautionary measure, it's unlikely that the Arsenal winger will be risked from the off, particularly given the riches of talent ready to step in.
England are likely to make a few changes to their starting lineup, with some of the Manchester City cohort expected to come in following their treble-winning exploits.

England vs North Macedonia prediction
Surprisingly, England have drawn both of their previous home games against North Macedonia.
But this Three Lions side know not to play with their food and so a routine victory is very much on the cards, particularly since Monday's visitors showed their extreme weaknesses against Ukraine last time out.
Expect goals at Old Trafford.
