JAKARTA - Manchester United's front player, Marcus Rashford, is likely to be prepared by Manager Gareth Southgate as England faces Malta's weak team in Group C match qualifying Euro 2024 at Wembley Stadium, Saturday, November 18 in the morning WIB. Apart from Rashford, midfielder Jordan Henderson is back in the start.
The match against Malta is no longer decisive. England, which tops the Group C standings with 16 points, has already qualified for Germany.
An additional one point has confirmed England's status as group winners. After all, England only faced the weakest team in the group.
Becoming a match against Malta at Wembley is nothing more than a formality. Britain sees it as a trial match and Southgate wants to conduct experiments by fielding players who have been sitting on the bench.
Even third goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who will stand in the bar round replaces Jordan Pickford and Aaron Ramsdale.
Interestingly, the row of defenders who fortify Crystal Palace goalkeepers is actually pillar players such as Kyle Walker, Harry Maguire, and Kieran Trippier who replaced Luke Shaw.
Southgate did include captain Harry Kane as a starter. Likewise Henderson still fills the midfield.
Will the former Liverpool player who is now playing in Saudi Arabia be again ridiculed by his own supporters? The behavior of supporters who mocked the players themselves did make Southgate and the team unable to understand.
Apart from Henderson and Kane, there is another Rashford who is likely to start. Southgate is about to restore Rashford's confidence that collapsed after showing poor performance at the club.
Meanwhile, Malta hopes to get the first point after losing only in the qualifying round. Jamaican-born striker Kemar Reid will start to penetrate England's defense.

Reid has played in the Malta League since 2016. She was alsonatularized last October and will make her national team debut against England.
In the central sector, Malta was again strengthened by Teddy Teuma and Jodi Jones who had been absent since last October due to injury.
Teuma itself is one of the pillars of the French Ligue 1 club, Reims. The 30-year-old midfielder scored four goals and made two self-assistes 10 matches in domestic competitions.
With its squad depth, England is clearly superior. Even though Southgate overhauled all the players, the Three Lions are predicted to still beat Malta.
