Luka Modric, the architect of England’s downfall in Moscow and the best player at the World Cup, captains the hosts. There are five changes to the team Croatia named in the World Cup semi. Dominik Livakovic, Mateo Kovacic, Andrej Kramaric, Tin Jedvaj and Josip Pivaric replace the departed Danijel Subasic, Sime Vrsaljko, Marcelo Brozovic, Mario Mandzukic and Ivan Strinic.
Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell makes his first start for England, following the withdrawals of Danny Rose and Luke Shaw. Meanwhile Ross Barkley makes his first England appearance in 868 days. There are five other changes to the team that beat Switzerland 1-0 last month. Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling all return.
