The interlull continues tonight but thankfully we can look forward to watching some Arsenal players as five of our boys are in action for their nations this evening.

Theo Walcott has retained his place in the England starting eleven as Gareth Southgate’s men take on Slovenia in their World Cup qualifier.

Kieran Gibbs was a late call-up as he cut short his holiday in Dubai to replace the injured Ryan Bertrand but the Arsenal full-back must make do with a place among the substitutes.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will join Gibbsy on the bench as Southgate has stuck with Jesse Lingard on the wing. As expected, Wayne Rooney is finally dropped.

Here are the teams:

Slovenia

Oblak, Samardzic, Cesar, Krhin, Ilicic, Kurtic, Birsa, Jokic, Bezjak, Verbic, Struna

England

Hart, Walker, Stones, Cahill, Rose, Dier, Henderson, Walcott, Alli, Lingard, Sturridge

Subs: Forster, Smalling, Gibbs, Antonio, Keane, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rooney, Vardy, Rashford, Townsend, Pickford.
