Lee Carsley, former player and now manager of the England national team, is set to make his mark on prime-time ITV tonight, joining a prestigious list of song-and-dance men who have graced the channel. Carsley is looking forward to playing at home and hopes to put on an exciting high-tempo performance.
England will be facing off against Finland in a Nations League match at Wembley Stadium. The game will pay tribute to the late former England boss Sven-Göran Eriksson, with the matchday program also honoring his memory.

Carsley has made four changes to his starting XI, with Angel Gomes making his first start for England at the age of 24. Harry Kane will also be celebrating his 100th appearance for the team and will receive a golden cap in recognition of this achievement.
The teams for the match are as follows: England – Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Konsa, Lewis, Gomes, Rice, Grealish, Saka, Kane, Gordon. Finland – Hradecky, Stahl, Hoskonen, Ivanov, Uronen, Peltola, Keskinen, Schuller, Jensen, Kamara, Pukki.
