Tonight marks Gareth Southgate’s 34th game in charge of England and his 10th starting XI with an average age of under 25.

The previous 17 managers to take charge of England did this just 10 times in 595 matches combined.

Gareth Southgate speaks to the media before the match:

"Well we were always of a mind that [the Champions League Final] was going to be a hugely intense occasion, the physical efforts of the game and the emotion of it, and I think given the way the game played out, we felt that we had a really good group working with us for a couple of weeks and they've had more opportunity to focus on this game, and it gives us some real strength to come form the bench. 

"With the young ones, we've done that throughout this competition. Gomez had one of his first games in Madrid, Harry Winks the same, Ben Chilwell the same so we want to keep developing young players. We're building for next year as well as wanting to win this. With Delphy he's a fantastic character, without Henderson's leadership in mid-field he's a similar sort of profile of player and I think that gives us a good balance to the team.

"I worked with [Sterling] in the under-21s and he wouldn't have been an obvious candidate for [the captaincy] but his growing maturity and confidence mean that it's a really well deserved honour and he's a hugley popular player with the rest of the team."

Netherlands’ Memphis Depay has played a part in 21 goals in his last 20 games in all competitions for the Dutch national side scoring 13 goals and making 8 assists.

He's certainly come a long way since his Manchester United days and is one to watch tonight.

The players make their way out onto the pitch, the rain comes down which should make England feel at home, the atmosphere is cracking, the flags are waving and we're about to get underway.

"God save our Queen" rings out in full voice, the England fans outnumber those from Holland by a long way.

Then comes the national anthem of the Netherlands, "The Wilhelmus".

9 mins: Maguire gives the ball away and Bergwijn runs it at the defence, he switches the ball to his left foot and shoots forcing Pickford into a low save. 

Kyle Walker makes a great interception and England can break but Walker's pass to Rashford is poor and it comes to nothing.
