Lee Carsley has named his England team to face the Republic of Ireland at Wembley this evening.

The interim manager takes charge of England for the final time tonight and has made two changes from the 3-0 win in Greece on Thursday night.

Valentino Livramento makes his England debut at right-back in place of the injured Ezri Konsa, with Kyle Walker moved inside to partner Marc Guehi at centre-back.

Lewis Hall makes his full debut for England at left-back. The uncapped Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jarell Quansah offer alternatives from the bench in central defence.

 

Harry Kane returns to the starting side after being dropped to the bench in Athens, with the Bayern Munich striker replacing Ollie Watkins.

Curtis Jones and Noni Madueke retain their places after impressing against Greece. Jones marked his debut with a goal on Thursday night and became the first Liverpool player since 1982 to score on his first appearance for England.
