England vs Finland team news
Anthony Gordon and Grealish both impressed against Ireland, and could get another chance to shine at Wembley with the likes of Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden not in the squad.
John Stones could start at centre-back, having come off the bench in Dublin, while Angel Gomes and Morgan Gibbs-White will be hoping for further involvement after making their debuts last time out.
Should Carsley opt to rotate his side, Eberechi Eze and Jarrod Bowen are among those who could come in from the start.
Finland will rely on Glen Kamara to provide the creativity in midfield, with former Norwich striker Teemu Pukki potentially playing some role on his return to England
