England v Bulgaria: Starting XI, squad available, odds and is it on TV?

England return to their Euro 2020 qualifications with two wins and ten goals under their belt.

They head to Wembley Stadium to face Bulgaria who have not won in four games.

Manager Gareth Southgate will likely use the easy game and strong table position to experiment with his squad and give precious playing time to prospects waiting in the wings.

Declan Rice will be looking to hopefully get more minutes on the pitch after an impressive start to the season with West Ham while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also back in contention after a long time out through injury.

Youthful prospects who have also had good starts to the season include Mason Mount, Tyrone Mings and James Maddison.

Below is everything you need to know ahead of the big game.

When is kick off and is it on TV?

ITV are broadcasting the game from 4.30pm with kick off at 5pm at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, September 7.

The game will also be able to watch on channel Free to Air as well as streamed through the ITV Hub.

Prediction and odds

The teams have played each other ten times drawing four times and England coming out on top on six occasions.

Accordingly,  Paddy Power has England as massive favourites with only 1/25 odds that they will win the game. It's 11/1 that there will be a draw and it's 30 to 1 that Bulgaria will perform an upset.
