England face the Ivory Coast in their final game before the draw for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and it looks likely that Gareth Southgate will make wholesale changes from the side that started Saturday's win over Switzerland.

That 2-1 success extended the Three Lions' unbeaten run to eight games and Southgate will be looking to maintain that sort of form throughout the year as England prepare for Qatar.

The hosts are 4/9 with Betfred to win their second match in three days while Ivory Coast, who pushed France so close in the Stade Vélodrome on Friday, are 13/2 to cause a Wembley upset.

International friendlies are notoriously poor betting mediums, especially with so much uncertainty surrounding the starting elevens, but there looks some decent value around in the goalscorer markets for those that are looking for some entertainment.

Southgate started the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden on Saturday so don't be surprised if that trio made way this time, which brings us to a likely start for Man City's £100 million Jack Grealish, who made just a cameo appearance on Saturday.

Despite being one of the most talented footballers in the land, Grealish is still not a guaranteed starter for England and that is something the 26-year-old, who has so far managed just a single strike for his national team, will be looking to address in the remaining games between now and Qatar.

If Grealish does start this game, we can expect a big performance from a player desperate to force his way into Southgate's Qatar starting line-up.

Harry Kane is odds-on (4/5) to strike at any time but Tottenham striker played 89 minutes on Saturday and
