Gareth Southgate saw his side make light work of Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James’ Park in Newcastle on Monday evening, running out 3-0 winners with a largely experimental team.
England are one of the favourites for the European Championship and it will be fascinating to see if they can finally deliver in what is expected to be Southgate’s final tournament at the helm.

England vs Iceland team news
Harry Kane will return to England’s starting lineup at Wembley, taking back the captain’s armband from Kieran Trippier after scoring the third goal off the bench against Bosnia.
The skipper sparked injury fears for the Euros by missing Bayern Munich’s last two Bundesliga matches of the season with a back problem, but insists he is now fully fit and raring to go.
Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Kyle Walker and John Stones should all be available, along with Jude Bellingham and Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo. None of that group played against Bosnia following their involvement in either the FA Cup or Champions League final.

Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire, James Maddison, Curtis Jones, Jarrad Branthwaite and James Trafford will not be involved after being cut from the squad on Thursday.
Jarrell Quansah was also cut but will be with the squad at Wembley after being placed on standby. Lewis Dunk joins Shaw on the sidelines.
England vs Iceland prediction
Results are clearly not the most important thing in the world in these games and England could be forgiven for not risking any injuries, but it would be a surprise not to see them beat their Euro 2016 conquerors with a strong team.
