Tino Livramento misses out

Tino Livramento was in the England squad last month, but he has not got the call-up this time around.

Instead, Kyle Walker returns as he bids to edge closer to 100 caps for his country.

Carsley's press conference ends

Carsley has finished speaking to the media after naming his second squad.

What do you make of the group of players he's picked this time? Any glaring omissions?

Solanke officially returns!

It's been a long wait but the Tottenham man is finally back in England colours.

Carsley: Harry Kane is an 'easy target'

Kane has received some criticism from the German press this week for not showing up in big games.

Carsley has defended his captain, believing he is an 'easy target' and claims he is #in a good place' after scoring twice on his 100th cap last month.

Carsley: Maguire is 'definitely' in my long-term plans

Harry Maguire has missed out as well, but Carsley still thinks he has an international future, and claims he has a 'really important part to play' moving forward.

Carsley: 'I wanted to look at other players'

Eberechi Eze is not in the squad this time around, but Carsley insists it is not a case of the Crystal Palace man being dropped, but more that he wants to see some new faces in his squad to see what they can do.

Carsley: 'I could have named a 40-man squad!'

Carsley is asked whether he considered calling up Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers after his strong start to the season.

Carsley says there is so much talent to pick from right now that he could have picked 40 players, but Rogers just missed out on this occasion.

Carsley: 'My situation hasn't changed'

Carsley insists he has not held talks with the FA about taking the England job permanently.

He is 'comfortable' with the current situation which will see him take charge this month and for November's two internationals as well.

Carsley: 'I always look at finding the right balance'

Carsley is asked how he thinks he will fit in Palmer, Foden and Bellingham.

He insists he will not be focusing too much on positions, but is determined to 'find the right balance'.

Carsley only picks seven defenders

We said Carsley was set to go bold, and he has!

He has only named seven defenders, with no place for Harry Maguire as expected.

Bellingham, Foden and Palmer all return after missing out last month.

Will Kalvin Phillips get back into the England mix?

Phillips will not be in today's squad, but will have aspirations of playing for his country again at some point.

He has opened up on how Pep Guardiola branding him 'overweight' has affected him ever since.

Is Jude Bellingham going backwards?

Jude Bellingham will be back in today's squad after missing out last month through injury.

But how has he been playing this season? He has not impressed the Spanish press, who believe he has 'declined' since Kylian Mbappe joined Real Madrid.

Who do YOU want to see in today's squad?

Just over 10 minutes until the squad is officially announced.

Will there be nay surprise names on that list at 2pm?

Is Anthony Gordon an option up front for England?

Carsley is set to pick Kane, Watkins and Solanke in his squad today, but Joe Cole also believes Gordon could play there.

Gordon starred through the middle in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Man City last weekend, and Cole does not think it was simply a one-off.

Carsley set to speak to the media today

Carsley will name his squad at 2pm and then speak to the media straight afterwards.

We will bring you all of his best quotes right here.

Will Angel Gomes retain his place?

Angel Gomes impressed during last month's international break and is reportedly attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

He was recently sent off in the Champions League, but is a player that Carsley is a big fan of, and should retain his place in the Three Lions squad today.

Saka survives McGregor sparring!

Bukayo Saka starred for Arsenal in their 2-0 win over PSG on Tuesday night, but probably didn't expect to then come face-to-face with Conor McGregor on the Emirates pitch.

McGregor seemed to be enjoying the moment as he aimed a couple of playful MMA kicks at Saka, who may not have been quite so comfortable!

Anyway, he's still going strong, and will take his place in England's squad today.

Harry Maguire to miss out?

Carsley has not shied away from making bold calls, and he is expected to leave Harry Maguire out of his squad today.

The centre back recently lost his place in Man United's starting XI and is now set to be overlooked on the international stage as well.

Harry Kane admits Carsley has selection 'headache'

Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke have both started the season well, and captain Harry Kane is not taking his place for granted ahead of the upcoming internationals.

Cole Palmer to take centre stage

Cole Palmer created Premier League history by scoring four goals in the first half of Chelsea 4-2 win over Brighton last weekend.

Now he is set for a more promiment role with England under Carsley, after failing to get a single start during the Euros over the summer.

Who are England playing this month?

England will be back in Nations League action in the coming days and have two fixtures to look forward to in October.

They will face Greece at Wembley on October 10, before playing Finland in Helsinki three days later on October 13.

Could James Maddison join Solanke in the squad?

Another Spurs player hoping for a recall is James Maddison.

Alongside Solanke, he has also started the season well, and believes he is in better shape than ever.

Dominic Solanke set for recall

We already have some early squad news, with Dominic Solanke set to be in today's squad.

Solanke has only previously played once for England, way back in a friendly against Brazil in 2017.
