Gareth Southgate has made four changes to his England Under-21s side for tonight's deciding Group B clash against Italy Under-21s at the European Championships in the Czech Republic.

Jesse Lingard, who scored the winning goal against Sweden last weekend, has been given the nod to start.

John Stones, who has recovered from concussion, has slotted into the back four, while Jake Forster-Caskey has come into the fold, with Danny Ings up front alongside Harry Kane.

Alex Pritchard was ruled out of the tournament through injury on Monday, while Liam Moore, Tom Carroll and Will Hughes have all made way for the new starters.

Meanwhile, Italy boss Luigi Di Biagio has made just the one change to his starting XI as Cristian Battocchio has entered the fray, replacing Marcello Trotta in the 4-3-3 formation.

England U21s starting XI: Butland; Jenkinson, Gibson, Stones, Garbutt; Forster-Caskey, Chalobah, Lingard, Redmond; Ings, Kane

Italy U21s starting XI:Bardi; Biraghi, Rugani, Romagnoli, Zappacosta; Crisetig, Benassi, Battocchio; Cataldi, Belotti, Berardi
