Netherlands

• The Dutch are on a roll with eight wins from nine games, but the only time they’ve faced a team we have ranked higher than England, they were battered 4-0 by France.
• In recent times, it is the Netherlands who’ve been in the driving seat when the two nations have met on the pitch. England have failed to win any of their last seven matches against Holland, three of which they’ve lost, including each of the last two.
• Ronald Koeman has picked seven uncapped players as part of his first squad as Netherlands boss, with Justin Kluivert aiming to follow in his father’s footsteps and score against England early in his career.

England

• The Three Lions are W7-D5-L2 under current management and are unbeaten in six, though these have all been tight affairs with each of the last four seeing one goal or less.
• In the absence of the Spurs frontman, an opportunity to lead the line should be handed to Jamie Vardy, who has been in excellent form domestically as he’s netted seven times in nine appearances for Leicester in all competitions – including both his last two.
• He’s managed four goals in nine International friendlies for England, and given he’s in the best form he’s managed all season should be trusted to take on the goalscoring burden in Amsterdam.
