England U21 vs Serbia U21 predictions

England U21's manager Lee Carsley has made a total of five changes for this international break from September to the side that won over Luxembourg.

This month they will take on both Serbia and Ukraine, also in the U21 European Championship qualifiers.

England are the defending champions and will be looking to continue their dominance in the competition, but with a side slightly changed to their championship winning squad in the summer, which includes Anthony Gordon and Morgan Gibbs-White ineligible to be picked for the squad.

Tino Livramento is another new name to the squad and will bring a high level of football having experience with Premier League sides Newcastle and Southampton.

15 players who were involved in winning in the summer are now beyond the age restrictions to be selected for the U21 squad now, but it also means a few come in eager to impress.

Some notable names include Harvey Elliott for Liverpool, Rico Lewis for Man City, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens of Borussia Dortmund, Noni Madueke of Chelsea and Cole Palmer of Chelsea to name just a few that have strong experience at the top level.

England U21 -1 -

Palmer was on the scoresheet for Chelsea at the weekend against Burnley and also in his last appearance for England U21 against Luxembourg, netting in the 67th minute to secure a 3-0 victory away from home.

Madueke started just ahead of Palmer on the right wing and the pair playing together at both Chelsea and England will stand them in good stead of starting together more as they become accustomed to how each other play.

England U21 have been strong in defence and even with the changes in the squad from the one that won the competition they have a strong squad in all areas of the pitch to secure a decisive victory, even if the scoreline is a minimum of winning by a single goal.
