The chase for the 2016 European Cup will take its next step on Friday. Two teams attempting to qualify for the tournament will do battle in a match between England and Lithuania.

What They're Saying
England head coach Roy Hodgson (via the Guardian): "We're very happy with Harry [Kane] this week. He's done well. The only thing I can certainly say is he's not in any way damaged his chances of playing in the full senior team. I'm pretty sure over the course of the next two games, we're going to see him make his full debut. People have to wait and see when that is. Whether it's from the start tomorrow or on Tuesday or coming on as a substitute, people will have to wait and see."
Lithuania striker Simonas Stankevicius (via the Guardian): "I think Wembley is the biggest stadium you can play in. I've never been to it before. Now, I'm looking at it through my window and I can see the big arch."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: If Kane fails to make his senior debut on Friday, expect Danny Welbeck to be the reason. In 22 league appearances with Arsenal, the 24-year-old has four goals and three assists.
England's Projected Lineup (4-4-2 Diamond): Hart; Baines, Cahill, Jagielka, Walker; Milner, Carrick, Henderson, Sterling; Rooney, Welbeck
Lithuania's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Arlauskis; Andriuskevicius, Freidgeimas, Kijanskas, Vaitkunas; Vicius, Zulpa, Chvedukas, Panka, Cernych; Matulevicius
