Belgium:

- Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois should make his first appearance of the season in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday.
- Jan Vertonghen or Dedryck Boyata will complete Belgium’s back three against England, with Jason Denayer and Toby Alderweireld automatic starters under Roberto Martinez.
- With neither Timothy Castagne nor Yannick Carrasco to call on, Thorgan Hazard looks a safe bet to start at left wing-back for the home side.
