ENGLAND V UKRAINE LIVE - SAKA AND KANE GIVE THREE LIONS LEAD

To warm up for this one, Ukraine's squad have been in London for almost a week. They took on Brentford B in a friendly - which they won - met with children who have fled from Ukraine to England because of the Russian invasion, and then yesterday trained at Wembley ahead of the match.

These two teams last played in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals, with England winning 4-0 in Rome. Six England starters from that night do so today, including two-goal Harry Kane and fellow scorer Harry Maguire, while Henderson came off the bench to score the fourth.

One of the reasons it has opened up for Maddison to start is the absence of Phil Foden. Foden today had surgery to remove his appendix and is a doubt for Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, on top of being absent today.

Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk and Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko are both in the Ukraine team. Roman Yaremchuk, who has not had the best of times since joining Club Brugge, leads the line.

Ukraine: Trubin, Karavaev, Svatok, Matvienko, Mykolenko, Zinchenko, Stepanenko, Sudakov, Malinovskyi, Mudryk, Yaremchuk.

James Maddison is the standout name on the England teamsheet, with the Leicester City playmaker making his first-ever senior international start. Ben Chilwell replaces the suspended Luke Shaw at left-back and Jordan Henderson comes into the midfield as Southgate makes three changes compared to the side which beat Italy 2-1.

England: Pickford, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Chilwell, Rice, Henderson, Bellingham, Maddison, Saka, Kane.

Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of England's Euro 2024 qualifier versus Ukraine at Wembley. England are fresh from an impressive victory in Italy to begin the campaign, but a slew of injuries and suspensions have left Gareth Southgate without the squad luxuries he is accustomed to. As for Ukraine, this is their first match in Group C and will no doubt be an emotional affair, giving the ongoing conflict back home. Team news coming right up.
