Pick your Scotland XI
The teams face each other in a special heritage friendly at Hampden Park on Tuesday - to mark the 150th anniversary of the Scottish FA and the oldest fixture in world football.
Scotland beat Cyprus 3-0 on Friday to extend their current win streak to five games, with the potential of securing qualification to Euro 2024 on the same night they host England - if results in Group A go their way.
Che Adams replacing Lyndon Dykes was the only alteration to Steve Clarke's settled starting line-up in Larnaca.
Behind the Southampton man, Aston Villa's John McGinn and Euro 2024 qualifying joint top scorer Scott McTominay continue to impress, alongside Billy Gilmour and Callum McGregor - but there are plenty of options should Clarke want to freshen things up at Hampden.

Steve Clarke: We're not there yet
Speaking after the victory in Cyprus, Scotland manager Steve Clarke said: "We work on the philosophy of game to game, game to game.
"We've had a run of competitive matches that we've won but I don't look that far back. I know in this campaign we've played five and we've got 15 points. That's good.
"I'd like to think that in the last three games, we're going to pick up more points.

"We said be different to the previous teams and come here to the pot five team and win again. That's your platform to qualify."
