Revealed: How England will lineup against Nigeria

Reports in the British media suggest Gareth Southgate will try out a new formation when England face Nigeria on Saturday in Wembley.

Contrary to expectations, the ex-Middlesbrough star will play a 3-4-3 system instead of the popular 4-3-3.

Garey Cahill will lead the defence line while the midfield will be marshalled by Eric Dier, with skipper Harry Kane leading the goal chase.

Gernot Rohr, meanwhile, could adopt England’s trusted system instead of experimenting.

England opens their campaign in Russia against Tunisia at the Volgograd Arena on June 18.

They then come up against Panama at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium six days later, before concluding their Group G fixtures in a mouthwatering clash with Belgium at the Kaliningrad Stadium on June 28.

Nigeria has never beaten the English national team at senior level.
