England boss Gareth Southgate:
"We have to find the balance of physical freshness, experience, finding out about players, winning and playing well. The usual expected of us with England. We can't fiddle around with the team as we're playing a top team at full tilt who will give us a high-level challenge. You can't overly experiment as that would be ridiculous.
"This is horrendous considering we're playing Scotland tomorrow but I was supporting them in 1978 (at the World Cup) as we didn't qualify, so I followed that trauma against Peru and Netherlands. And we were back in 1982 and from then onwards it was all about England.
"It's a great fixture. I've met and worked with so many of the players from this fixture over the years. It's a fabulous game. I know there is a rivalry and people will be worried about it crossing the boundary but it's a brilliant sporting rivalry. It's a great game to be involved in.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke is expecting a competitive battle when Scotland host England in a friendly to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the oldest game in football.
"It's been 150 years in the making so they're always good games, always competitive games.
"In the modern era certainly, in my lifetime England have probably moved a little bit further in front. We're trying to close the gap on them and we'll find out tomorrow how much we've closed that gap.
"It will be a competitive friendly, if you can have such a thing. I think both teams will want to win. Obviously the boys from both sides interact with each other at different clubs. They come across each other all season so both sides want the bragging rights.
Sky Sports News senior reporter Rob Dorsett:
"Kieran Trippier is going to be in the news conference with Gareth Southgate today, which is usually an indication he will start.
"Does that mean he'll be at right-back instead of Kyle Walker or left-back instead of Ben Chilwell?
"There are probably not going to be too many changes - it's an important game.
"That means it's difficult for Eddie Nketiah. He'll be desperate to make his England debut. I'd expect Harry Kane to lead the line, so he may have to wait his turn but I think Southgate will want to get him on the pitch.
"You'd probably say the same about Levi Colwill. I think Southgate will want to get him some game time. It's possible he could start alongside Harry Maguire. It was Marc Guehi he went with against Ukraine and he didn't make any mistakes. We'll wait and see.
