England take on Greece in an eagerly anticipated UEFA Nations League clash, marking the first time these two sides have met in 18 years. Both teams come into this match in good form, having won their opening two games of the competition. While England are heavy favourites, Greece current sits atop the group due to their superior goal difference. This will be another opportunity for interim manager Lee Carsley to make an impression as he aims for his third consecutive win at Wembley.
England’s squad sees the return of key players, including Harry Kane, who overcame an injury scare, while Dominic Solanke receives a long-awaited call-up after seven years. Greece, meanwhile, are fielding a relatively strong side, with Dinos Mavropanos and Kostas Tsimikas expected to lead their defence. England will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record against Greece, with seven wins and two draws in their previous nine meetings.
England Predicted Lineup
England are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation under interim manager Lee Carsley. With Harry Kane cleared to play, he will likely lead the attack alongside Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka, both of whom have been in great form for their clubs.
Jude Bellingham is set to anchor the midfield, partnering with Declan Rice and James Maddison, who is expected to step into the starting lineup in the absence of other options like Kobbie Mainno.
At the back, Kyle Walker should retain his spot at right-back, while Ben Chilwell may start on the left. In the heart of the defence, John Stones and Marc Guehi are likely to continue their partnership. Jordan Pickford remains the likely candidate to start between the sticks.

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
