England v Croatia LIVE: Team news and latest updates with fans banned from Nations League clash

Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly withdrew from the England squad earlier this week, leaving Lewis Hall likely to continue at left-back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold impressed with an assist against the Czech Republic and will contend for a place again on the right of the back four, while Jordan Pickford will displace James Trafford in goal.

Alex Scott could earn a first start.

Predicted England XI: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Guehi, Hall; Anderson, Scott; Rogers, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane.

Martin Erlic has withdrawn from the Croatia squad after suffering a hamstring strain but manager Slaven Bilic should otherwise have a fully fit squad to select from.

Predicted Croatia XI: Livakovic; Smolcic, Vuskovic, Gvardiol, Perisic; Modric, Kovacic P. Sucic; Baturina, Beljo, Marco Pasalic

As usual with England matches, viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on ITV1, with coverage from 4.15pm BST.

A live stream will be available via ITVX.

Croatia vs England is due to kick off at 5pm BST on Saturday 3 October at the HNK Rijeka Stadium.

It is the third fixture in this round of Nations League games with both teams having won one and lost one of the previous two in group A3.

England will look to build on a strong win in the Czech Republic as they face another tricky away trip in Croatia.

Thomas Tuchel’s side bounced back from a defeat to Spain in their Nations League opener as they produced a professional performance against 10-man opposition on Tuesday.

That 2-0 success leaves them second in Group A3, level on points with their opposition – who will not benefit from their usual home advantage due to crowd restrictions in Rijeka.

Croatia were beaten 4-2 by England at the World Cup and are now back under the management of former West Ham boss Slaven Bilic, who previously oversaw the national team between 2006 and 2012.

After a week of fallout from the seismic Manchester City verdict, Thomas Tuchel and his England side will bid to focus on matters on the field as they face a tricky test against Croatia. A strong showing against the Czech Republic in midweek secured a much-needed win for Tuchel – can they go again as they continue their Nations League campaign in Rijeka?
