Thomas Tuchel’s England have received a boost with Reece James fit again, while Declan Rice could return.
Harry Kane is set to make a record 121st international appearance, the most by any England outfield player.
Argentina will again be led by an in-form Lionel Messi, who has scored 8 goals, while Scaloni must decide whether to start Julián Álvarez or Lautaro Martínez up front.
Opinion: Argentina remain dangerous because of the individual ability of their attackers.
The match could therefore be closely contested and decided by small details on the pitch.
