Sports Mole previews Saturday's Under-21 European Championship clash between England and Norway.

England will be looking to claim their first points of the 2013 Under-21 European Championship when they face Norway on Saturday.

Stuart Pearce's side currently sit bottom of Group A after their 1-0 defeat to Italy on Wednesday evening.

Norway opened their campaign with a 2-2 draw against hosts Israel on Wednesday.

The meeting will be the sixth competitive meeting between the two countries at this level, with England winning the previous five. The last time the sides met was in September last year when Connor Wickham's strike gave England a 1-0 victory.

Pearce will be able to select Danny Rose and Thomas Ince after the pair missed the Italy game through suspension. Wilfried Zaha and Henri Lansbury should also be in contention after recovering from injuries.

Norway coach Tor Ole Skullerud could select the same XI that drew with Israel.
