Harry Kane may return to the England line-up after he recently made his Tottenham return following a lengthy spell out injured, but will he be partnered by captain Wayne Rooney up top or will Rooney play in a deeper position?

Dele Alli is another key player that will be missing from Friday's game, but Jack Wilshere has been recalled.
