England boss Gareth Southgate has included both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Raheem Sterling in his starting lineup for the World Cup qualifier with Slovenia.

Both players have found themselves in and out of the side on the domestic scene for Liverpool and Manchester City respectively, but Southgate opts to give the duo a role in the first XI in North London.

Harry Kane captains the side in attack, while Marcus Rashford lines up on the left, with Eric Dier and Jordan Henderson taking familiar positions in the centre of the park.
