This is an important game for England and quite rightly Luke Shaw has been demoted form the senior squad to join Gareth Southgate's U21 squad.
Eric Dier, Tom Carroll, Alex Pritchard and Harry Kane are the Spurs players involved with Carroll out on a season-long loan at Swansea and Pritchard on a similar deal at Brentford.
