Thomas Tuchel is set to ring the changes for England's friendly with Senegal on Tuesday night, with the Three Lions' starting XI leaked.
England made it three wins from three on Saturday when they beat Andorra 1-0 courtesy of a Harry Kane goal in the second half.
The Euro 2024 finalists have taken nine points from their first three World Cup qualifiers and are yet to concede a goal, but Tuchel was not happy with the display from his players -stating that he "didn't like the attitude" and felt the team "lacked urgency and seriousness" as he criticised the body language.
England are back in action with a friendly fixture at Nottingham Forest's City Ground for a first senior international game on Trentside in 84 years.
And it appears as though only four stars will keep their place in the side for the second consecutive game, with captain Kane, Jude Bellingham, Ezri Konsa and Noni Madueke all getting the nod again.

According to The Mirror, Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson will replace Jordan Pickford in between the sticks - while Trent Alexander-Arnold will come in at right-back for a first England since being confirmed as a Real Madrid player.
After an impressive end to the campaign, Chelsea's Levi Colwill will partner Konsa at the heart of the backline - with Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly hoping to shine again after a goal and Man of the Match performance on his debut at Wembley in March.
Declan Rice, Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze will all come into the midfield for the clash, which is a 30,000 capacity sell-out.
Henderson, Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Bellingham, Madueke, Gibbs-White, Eze, Kane.

There could be as many as two England debuts at the City Ground. In the initial 33-man Euro squad, Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford is still waiting for his first senior England appearance, while Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is hoping to follow his older brother Nathaniel in being capped by his country after a first call-up.
Nathaniel, also a Chelsea academy product, played just once in a debut which lasted ZERO seconds against Spain in October 2018.
Speaking ahead of the game, Tuchel spoke about wanting to see his team play more freely and with a smile.
"I see us train with a smile, but not play with a smile," Tuchel said.

"We need to improve, for sure. We need to improve in connections, in support, in interactions in the group.
"I feel we are too isolated on the pitch. We have not clicked yet.
"We have a lot of positives to take away in training and in the sessions I see a lot of it, and it will obviously take a little bit to translate it to the pitch."
