World Cup winners in 2014, Germany have been impeccable in the qualifiers for the next edition as they stand on top of Group C with just a couple of games to go in the first round of the group stage in their Road to Russia. Germany face a trip to Azerbaijan in their qualifier this break but they will be in action on Wednesday when they welcome Gareth Southgate’s English national team to the Signal Iduna Park for a friendly. Their last game ended in an 8-0 victory over San Marino but they will have a greater challenge in this game with England also going strong in the qualifying campaign. Joachim Low is expected to test his options but would go with a strong side.
Bernd Leno, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Kevin Trapp, Jonas Hector, Benedikt Hoewedes, Mats Hummels, Joshua Kimmich, Shkodran Mustafi, Sebastian Rudy, Antonio Rudiger, Niklas Sule, Julian Brandt, Emre Can, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, Julian Weigl, Timo Werner, Andre Schurrle,, Lukas Podolski

Arguably one of the best full-backs in Germany at the moment, Rudiger has been a mainstay for Italian side AS Roma this season and should complete the back line in this game.
Adding to the mettle of the German midfield should be the 21-year-old Dortmund midfielder who will hope to take advantage of the home conditions.

The 29-year Juventus man should make his 70th appearance for the national side partnering Kroos in this game against England.
