da bet esporte: According to Sky Sports, Tottenham’s Eric Dier will captain England for the international friendly against Switzerland in the absence of his club teammate Harry Kane, who is set to be rested by Gareth Southgate.
da bwin: England go into the game, held at Leicester’s King Power Stadium, having lost their last three matches in all competitions, meaning that Gareth Southgate could hold the unfortunate record of being the first ever England manager to lose four games in a row if things go wrong against Xherdan Shaqiri and co.
Sky Sports also suggest that as well as Dier, rated at £36m by Transfermarkt, Jack Butland, James Tarkowski, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabian Delph, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Danny Welbeck are all set to start after being on the bench for the UEFA Nations League opener against Spain on Saturday.
The Swiss kicked off their campaign in the new competition with a resounding 6-0 win over Iceland on Saturday, with Liverpool winger Shaqiri scoring the pick of the goals from a free-kick.
Tottenham fans on Twitter were delighted though that 6ft 2in defensive-midfielder Dier was set to come in to the side as captain for the friendly, receiving his 33rd cap in the process. Check out their best tweets below.
