Gianluca Scamacca, Davide Frattesi and Destiny Udogie start as Italy visit Jude Bellingham’s England in a head-to-head for top spot in their EURO 2024 qualifying group.

It kicks off at Wembley Stadium at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

This is a showdown for leadership of Group C, as a victory would see the Azzurri catch England in top spot and a win by two or more clear goals give them the advantage in head-to-head record.

That is because when they met in March, the Three Lions won 2-1 with Declan Rice and Harry Kane goals.

On the other hand, a point is enough for Gareth Southgate’s men to qualify.

The Nazionale are decimated by injuries and off the field issues, missing Sandro Tonali, Nicolò Zaniolo, Federico Chiesa, Ciro Immobile, Mattia Zaccagni, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Mateo Retegui, Matteo Politano and more.

Tottenham full-back Destiny Udogie gets his first start, while Atalanta striker Gianluca Scamacca is flanked by Domenico Berardi and Stephan El Shaarawy.

Frattesi steps into the midfield after scoring four goals in his last three Italy appearances.

England won all their EURO 2024 qualifiers until the 1-1 draw with Ukraine and rested most of their stars for Friday’s friendly win over Australia.

Bukayo Saka, Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell are injured, so Kieran Trippier is moved across to left-back, with Kyle Walker on the right.

Kane and Bellingham are joined by Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford.

Eddie Nketiah and Milan defender Fikayo Tomori are not even on the bench.
