Winks, Maguire to make England debuts

Gareth Southgate has made seven changes to his England starting XI as they round off their World Cup qualifying campaign against Lithuania in Vilnius.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks and Leicester City defender Harry Maguire have been handed international debuts by the Three Lions manager.

Harry Kane will captain England once again, while John Stones, Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford are the other players to keep their place in the team from the 1-0 win over Slovenia.

Dele Alli is also back in side after missing the win over Slovenia due to a one-match suspension, which he incurred as a result of his offensive salute during the 2-1 victory over Slovakia.

Lithuania, meanwhile, have made six changes from their 1-1 draw in Malta, with Edvinas Girdvainis, Vytautas Andriuskevicius, Arvydas Novikovas, Vykintas Slivka and Viodor Cernych maintaining their place in the starting XI from Thursday's match.

Lithuania: Setkus, Andriuskevicius, Girdvainis, Zulpa, Linas Klimavicius, Borovskij, Slivka, Verbickas, Novikovas, Sernas, Cernych Subs: Zubas, Freidgeimas, Kijanskas, Mikuckis, Silenas, Vaitkunas, Matulevicius, Chvedukas, Papsys, Spalvis, Valskis, Cerniauskas

England: Butland, Keane, Maguire, Stones, Trippier, Winks, Henderson, Cresswell, Alli, Kane, Rashford Subs: Pickford, Forster, Walker, Smalling, Cahill, Dier, Livermore, Defoe, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge, Sterling, Lingard
