It will be another especially poignant evening for everyone associated with Italian football, with a minute’s silence due to be held before kick-off in memory of the recently deceased Fiorentina captain Davide Astori.
Here are tonight’s predicted starting XIs, in full:
England (3-4-3): Butland; Walker, Stones, Mawson; Trippier, Dier, Henderson, Young; Sterling, Vardy, Alli.
Italy (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Florenzi, Bonucci, Rugani, Darmian; Pellegrini, Jorginho, Parolo; Candreva, Immobile, Insigne.
Meanwhile, according to the latest reports from Tuttosport, this could prove to be Luigi Di Biagio’s final match in charge of the senior team, with former AC Milan and Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti waiting in the wings to take over.
