Croatia v England: Build-up to World Cup semi-final in Moscow

TEAM NEWS

We’ll start with some team news for you.

England have named an unchanged side from the one that beat Sweden in the quarter-final, meaning they line up with Pickford in goal, Walker, Stones and Maguire at the back, Young and Trippier as wingbacks, Henderson as a defensive midfielder, with Lingard and Alli sitting just in front, and Sterling and Kane up top.    

Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic has made one change to the team that beat Russia on penalties in their quarter-final, with Marcelo Brozovic coming in to replace Andrej Kramaric.

Penalty shootout hero Subasic starts in goal, Vida and Lovren form a central defensive pairing, Strinic is on the left, and Vrsaljko on the right.

Rakitic and Brozovic will likely sit centrally and allow Perisic, Modric and Rebic to roam further forward, with Mandzukic leading the line.
