Czech Republic v England LIVE: Latest team news and line-ups from Nations League as Trent Alexander-Arnold starts

Anthony Gordon said that England’s performance against Spain can be used as a template for how the Three Lions should play.

He said: “We’ve talked a lot about identity for this team moving forward, and that’s the template, if you want to phrase it that way.

“Like I said a couple of days ago, I don’t think there is a gap. I feel like we’re right there and we can win that game.

“If the penalty goes in, I feel like we go on and win the game. In hindsight, it’s always easy to say that, but I felt good in the game. I feel like if the penalty went in, we would have won.

“So I don’t think there is a gap. I felt confident, but feeling confident doesn’t always translate to a win, but again, I thought you’re seeing here tonight, that we’re a top team.”

We’re less than an hour away from kick off now in the Czech Republic and the England fans are ready and excited for this clash.

England captain, Harry Kane, gave his thoughts on the team’s performance following the 3-2 defeat to Spain at the weekend.

“I think I spoke before about how we reached good levels at the World Cup but didn’t quite put a full 90 minutes together,” he said.

“It was probably similar again. We had a lot of good moments, but I think that period was as good as we’ve played in a long, long time. That’s the standard that we know we can reach.

“We’re playing against the reigning world and European champions and we went toe-to-toe with them. On another day, for sure, we’re the ones who win the game.

“So we have to take the positives from it. It’s disappointing now, of course, but we have to dust ourselves down and go again.”

England spent all week telling us why they can’t keep the ball like Spain. We weren’t taught that way. We don’t have the players. It’s not in our DNA.

As if to drill home the point, Marc Guehi got lost on the edge of his own box like a scout staring at a broken compass, and Lamine Yamal punished him.

Two minutes gone, 1-0 down to the world champions, and at that moment everyone inside Wembley Stadium thought the same thing…

Santi Denia makes three changes to the Czech Republic team that lost to Croatia last time out.

Matej Kovar comes in to replace goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek while Matej Radosta joins the forward line ahead of Lukas Ambros.

Vladimir Coufal is replaced with Ladislav Krejci.

Czech Republic XI: Kovar; Krejci, Chaloupek, Hranac, Slama; Cerv, Sulc, Sadilek; Radosta, Karabec, Hlozek

Substitutes: Hornicek, Kinsky, Vasulin, Zmrzly, Kricfalusi, Ambros, Vitik, Bucha, Macek, Lingr, Kral, Sacek

Thomas Tuchel has named his team to take on Czech Republic tonight.

The biggest changes are in the defence with Trent Alexander-Arnold starting at right-back over Jarell Quansah. Trevoh Chalobah comes in to replace Ezri Konsa and Lewis Hall begins the game at left-back replacing Nico O’Reilly.

The other big news is that Jude Bellingham is rested with Morgan Rogers starting in his place.

England XI: Trafford; Alexander-Arnold, Chalobah, Guehi, Hall; Anderson, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Rogers, Gordon; Kane

More from the England manager now who was asked how he and the team have prepared to face Czech Republic.

“We only analysed one game from the Czech team, as they have a new coach,” Tuchel replied.

“We saw a flexible midfield of three. A lot of changes in position. Wingers attacking full-backs and a team that was well organised.

“Full of motivation to take their chance, that is what we saw.”

Despite losing to Spain last weekend, Tuchel does not feel his team ‘must win’ against the Czechs tonight.

“It’s a bit early for must-win,” Tuchel explained.

“I know what you mean but it is a bit early in the group for a must-win.

“We always arrive and prepare the team with a target to win. It was the target against Spain and it is the same.

“We respect the quality and the challenge it brings. You play in Prague against Czechia, it is difficult. There will be support for the home team.

“We always prepare for the win, we want the win. It is too early to speak for a must. It would be ideal.”
