Team News

Belgium Team News

Belgium will turn back to their strong XI possible; this is after playing with inexperienced second-team Switzerland against, the likes of Thibaut Courtois may replace Simon Mignolet in post.

Veteran Dries Mertens is eyeing a start in place of the injured Yannick Carrasco.

Timothy Castagne misses out alongside Eden Hazard through injuries while Youri Tielemans is set to return to the midfield. 

England Team News

Maguire and James both are serving their suspension following their red cards in the loss against Denmark. Southgate may not be able to call upon his first XI.

Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold are on the treatment table nursing injury, and Southgate is further head-scratch in the heart of the defense with Conor Coady forced to self-isolate after his contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus.

Doubts arose over Rashford’s fitness heading into the international break and the Manchester United man is likely not to play part in this clash, but Southgate will look for changes.

Jordan Pickford, Kyle Walker, and Ben Chilwell are set to make their returns to the first XI, also Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, and Harry Kane will come back in to occupy their usual spots in England’s lineup.

Belgium vs. England Prediction

These two European giants have piled up injuries concerns and COVID-19 positive test issues ahead of this clash, but both Martinez and Southgate will feel confident about putting out a starting XI capable of grabbing the points. Whichever team wins here will have one foot for next year’s finals, but while England managed to pick victory against Belgium at Wembley, we want to be certain the Three Lions team repeating the same on Sunday and expect Belgium to dash the Three Lions’ hopes of finishing top with a slight victory.
