England take on the Republic of Ireland in an international friendly
this afternoon. The teams have already been announced and the Three
Lions’ side is dominated by Liverpool faces.
Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Raheem Sterling and new boy James Milner all start in a 4-3-3 formation.
Sterling
and Lallana will play wide of Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney up
front, while Henderson and Milner are joined by Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere
in midfield. United defenders Phil Jones and Chris Smalling also start,
while City keeper Joe Hart remains in goal – meaning Liverpool and
Manchester have contributed eight of the eleven starters.
Chelsea’s Gary Cahill and Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand make up the numbers.
You
can also watch out for a number of rumoured Liverpool targets –
including Saints full-back Nathaniel Clyne and QPR striker Charlie
Austin, who are both on the bench.
Former Liverpool boss Roy
Hodgson could also hand England debuts to Jamie Vardy – who scored in
Leicester City’s thrashing of Manchester United earlier this season, a
result we all enjoyed – and Burnley keeper Tom Heaton.
