The former Manchester United youngster features in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Ryan Bertrand getting a rare start on the left and West Bromwich Albion midfielder Jake Livermore being given his second cap.

As for Germany, manager Joachim Low gives a debut to striker Timo Werner, who has impressed for RB Leipzig this season, while Manchester City winger Leroy Sane also features in attack.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen gets the nod between the sticks after Manuel Neuer was ruled out, while Lukas Podolski captains the side in his final appearance for his country.

Germany: Ter Stegen, Hector, Hummels, Kroos, Podolski, Weigl, Rudiger, Kimmich, Sane, Brandt, Werner
