Sun Oct 13 15:21:15 UTC 2024: ## England Look To Bounce Back Against Finland With Six Changes

**Helsinki, Finland:** England will be looking to bounce back from their humiliating 2-1 defeat against Greece in the UEFA Nations League when they face Finland on Sunday. Interim manager Lee Carsley has made six changes to his starting lineup, including the return of captain Harry Kane and Jack Grealish.

Carsley has been criticized for his tactical decisions in the Greece match, particularly the lack of a recognized striker. He has admitted that his experiment backfired and has vowed to return to a more conventional approach against Finland.

One of the most notable changes is the inclusion of Trent Alexander-Arnold at left-back. Carsley believes that the Liverpool full-back could be a suitable option in that position.

Another key change sees Dean Henderson start in goal, replacing Jordan Pickford who was criticized for his performance against Greece.

The match is crucial for England as they aim to finish top of their group and secure promotion to League A in the Nations League.

England will be hoping for a much-improved performance against Finland, who are currently bottom of the group with no points.

**Team News:**

**England:** Henderson, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Gomes, Palmer, Bellingham, Grealish, Kane.
