England National Football Team Vs Australia National Football Team Lineups

England will hope to extend their winning streak against Australia during friendly matches in 2017. They last met them back in 2016, where England prevailed with a 2-1 win.

Gareth Southgate will field an experimental side against Australia. Arsenal winger Eddie Nketiah and Chelsea full-back Levi Colwill could make their national team debuts.

Harry Kane

Harry Kane will look to build on his impressive hat-trick against Pacos de Ferreira by leading England to victory against Australia at Wembley Stadium. The Tottenham Hotspur striker, who holds England’s all-time goalscoring record, has been in brilliant form this season and continues to score regularly for Spurs.

England are on the cusp of promotion back to the top tier of the Nations League with just two matches remaining, and interim manager Lee Carsley wants his final match against Greece to go out in style before Thomas Tuchel arrives as permanent coach in 2024. A win would seal second place in Group B2.

Carsley has been hit hard by withdrawals with Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, Manchester City pair Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, Chelsea teammates Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill, Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Everton’s Martin Skrtel all being absent for games against Greece and Republic of Ireland. As replacements, Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers will join Newcastle Tino Livramento Tino Livramento Burnley James Trafford West Ham Jarrod Bowen while Kostas Tsimikas will start alongside Cardiff pair Christos Zafeiris and Manolis Siopis for Greece; for Greece the injured Konstantinos Mavropanos will start alongside Cardiff duo Christos Zafeiris and Manolis Siopis for Greece.

Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling is a dynamic Liverpool winger who has been outstanding this season. An agile forward with exceptional pace, skill and technique, Raheem has excelled with both club and national side alike; particularly England where his attacking prowess and goal scoring prowess have proven invaluable for them both in attack and goal scoring ability – not forgetting his youth team successes where he won caps at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels!

Gareth Southgate has given several England youngsters an opportunity to prove their credentials for inclusion in his Euro 2024 squad. Middlesbrough goalkeeper Tom Glover and Levi Colwill of Chelsea earned first senior selection, while Standard Liege’s Lewis Miller and Alessandro Circati from Hibernian could make their mark midfield respectively. Lewis Dunk and Kieran Trippier should retain their starting spots at full back while Jack Grealish from West Ham could join James Maddison or Ollie Watkins up front.

Both teams boast rich histories and strong fan bases, making this matchup highly anticipated. This article will discuss lineups and tactical considerations of this exciting matchup between two powerhouses of international soccer.

Aaron Mooy

Aaron Mooy has quietly become one of Celtic’s key figures since returning home after two years with Shanghai SIPG. Since his return, the midfielder has established himself as a key cog in their Scottish Premiership title defence.

The 32-year-old enjoyed an exceptional World Cup, helping Australia qualify for the final 16. Since returning to club play with Celtic under Ange Postecoglou he has continued his impressive form.

Mooy scored six goals in eight appearances against St Johnstone with his latest performance – but unlike younger team-mates such as Matt O’Riley and David Turnbull, the Australian is not widely vocal about his achievements.

Mooy excels at providing both defensive stability and offensive options, making him an essential player for Australia’s hopes of progressing out of its group featuring France, Peru and Denmark. His ability to read the game and distribute possession has allowed the team to set up effective attacks from corners or free kicks.

Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford had high hopes last season at Manchester United and for international duty with The Three Lions, but following an inconsistent campaign was left off Gareth Southgate’s squad to face Australia on Friday.

The Three Lions manager will use this fixture as an opportunity to assess several fringe players such as Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, West Ham United defender Lewis Dunk and Arsenal midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. Chelsea duo Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah could make their debuts, while Middlesbrough’s Jackson Irvine and Grasshopper Club Switzerland’s Awer Mabil could provide creative outlets.

At center-back, Marc Guehi and Lewis Dunk will likely partner, with Kieran Trippier as an optional starter. Southgate could opt to use Liverpool winger Trent Alexander-Arnold in fullback alongside Kieran Gibbs while Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins provide coverage on the left flank. Luke Shaw, Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Dominic Solanke have been left off this squad altogether.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool vice-captain Joe Allen was forced off during their 2-0 win against Aston Villa with a hamstring problem, placing his availability for England’s next two Nations League games into doubt. Lee Carsley named Allen in his squad but may opt instead to stick with Jordan Pickford and Kyle Walker in defence as his preferred pairings.

Before England’s friendly against Greece earlier this month, former England boss Fabio Capello attempted to use Alexander-Arnold in a more advanced role, hoping to harness his distribution and creativity; however, he didn’t appear comfortable. Still, Carsley should continue giving opportunities to all his defenders including U21 players Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon from his U21 side Carsley FC U21 Academy – with Alexander-Arnold remaining at right back for now.

Declan Rice will face an intriguing test tonight after switching countries and becoming one of England’s key players. After starting his international career with Ireland, Declan decided to switch and become an integral figure for England – featuring alongside Grealish and Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo before opting to switch once again after leaving Ireland behind for England’s national side. As expected, Marc Guehi remains as one of its first-choice centre-backs while Levi Colwill from Chelsea – completes their backline at left back.
