The Three Lions are hoping to make it three wins from three World Cup qualifiers at Wembley, moving closer to a place at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is expected to overcome a knock that saw him start Tuesday's training session indoors with the medical and performance team.
