England face the Netherlands on Thursday in a bid to make the UEFA Nations League final.
Live commentary for the game from the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques in Portugal will be available on talkSPORT from 7.45pm.
The Three Lions have the difficult task of overcoming a rejuvenated Netherlands side, who have a team littered with some world class talent.
But England have some amazing players of their own and have come on leaps and bounds under Gareth Southgate’s leadership.
Ahead of the game, England striker Marcus Rashford has praised the influence Southgate has had on the whole squad.
“It doesn’t matter whether you play for Tottenham or Liverpool or whoever,” the Manchester United forward said.

“While we’re here that doesn’t matter at all. We’ll battle for each other. That’s what’s special about this group, because that transition to international football seems to be very smooth.
“With Gareth being an ex-player he knows what it feels like going into camp. If it’s your first time and you don’t really know people it can be tough.
“He’s done everything bang-on and when we have new young players coming into the squad they just slide right in.”
Southgate does, though, have some big decisions to make with several Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool stars doubts following their Champions League final exploits.
This means Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson, Dele Alli and Trent Alexander-Arnold may only be fit enough for the bench.
One to watch – Jadon Sancho
The rise of Sancho in the Bundesliga has led to many other young English players to look to other countries in Europe to ply their trade.
The youngster has been a revelation in the German top-flight, racking up the most assists in the division with 14 and chipping in with 12 goals too.
His stellar form unsurprisingly caught the eye of Southgate, who handed him his debut against Croatia in October.
The 19-year-old became the first player born after 2000 to represent England at senior level and enjoyed a fine evening in the 5-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win over the Czech Republic earlier this year.
He is certainly one to look out for against the Netherlands.
But how could they line-up? Have a look at our predicted team below.
