England Under-21s are aiming to keep their winning record in Group F going with a victory over Serbia tonight as they push to qualify for the European Championships.
Head Coach Lee Carsley will still have England’s successes from the World Cup very much ingrained in his memory. But he will have to ensure that such emotions are parked as the Young Lions try to build on that trophy going forward.
In fairness, they convincingly won their first qualifier 3-0 against Luxembourg. Liam Delap, Tommy Doyle and Cole Palmer got their names on the scoresheet.

Eyes will be on Palmer who has started to light up the pitch for Chelsea in recent weeks. The midfielder made a big-money move from Manchester City in the summer and has just started to find his feet in Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

The Young Eagles are actually sitting at the top of the group after a routine 2-0 win over Azerbaijan. Mihaljo Ilic scored a first half brace to help his countrymen over the line.
The game kicks off tonight at 7.45pm, UK time, and it will be played at the City Ground, the home of Nottingham Forest.
