With the influential Pulisic back among an exciting Stars and Stripes squad, Al Hain-Cole is predicting Southgate's men to see goals at both ends
England will be hoping to warm up for their final Nations League match with a win when they welcome the USA to Wembley for Thursday’s friendly clash.
Gareth Southgate’s men secured a shock 3-2 victory away to Spain in their last match, keeping alive their chances of making it through to the knockout stages.
Unbeaten in their last 10 friendly fixtures on home turf, they are 1/4 (1.25) favourites with bet365 to give themselves a timely confidence boost with another victory here.
The Stars and Stripes have only won one of their previous six fixtures, but are priced at 11/1 (12.00) to pull off a shock win in London.
These sides shared a 1-1 draw when they last met in the group stages of the 2010 World Cup, and you can get odds of 9/2 (5.50) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.
Wayne Rooney has reunited with the squad for a farewell 120th appearance, while Callum Wilson has received his first ever call-up.
Christian Pulisic has returned to the national team after missing the last six matches, while Malmo’s Romain Gall is the only uncapped player in a 28-man squad.
With six goals to his name in his last 10 international appearances, star player Pulisic will provide an extra attacking impetus to a team that has only failed to score twice in 10 matches under interim coach Dave Sarachan.
Having found the net against the likes of Portugal, France and Colombia on that run, the youthful Americans will be confident of causing some problems for a Three Lions outfit that has conceded twice in four of their previous six games.
With Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Co. at the other end of the pitch, odds of 5/4 (2.25) look generous on both teams finding the net in another exciting England clash.
