Harry Kane is set to match Peter Shilton’s record number of appearances for England as the Three Lions host Czechia at Wembley on Tuesday evening. The FC Bayern star is once again included in Thomas Tuchel’s starting lineup on the day he’ll make his 125th international cap.

The 33-year-old England captain scored in the first three rounds of the UEFA Nations League campaign. After the disappointment of missing a penalty-kick in the defeat to world champions Spain, Kane guided his country to wins over Czechia and Croatia.

Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah starts in central defense alongside Marc Guehi as Trent Alexander-Arnold returns in the right-back position. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim's Vladimir Coufal will wear the captain's armband in the absence of the suspended Ladislav Krejčí. His club teammate Robin Hranáč also starts for the visitors as they hope to stop the Ballon d’Or nominee.

In the other game from the group, Croatia entertain Spain in Split. The visitors have extended their unbeaten streak to 41 games after starting their Nations League campaign with three wins, while Croatia suffered their heaviest defeat in history three days ago (7-0 to England).
