England will look to take advantage of a rotated German team in a Wembley friendly on Tuesday, and will hopefully make the game at least something of a contest by putting on a performance considerably better than the dreadful one which ensured defeat at home to Chile last week. While England were being embarrassed by Alexis Sánchez Germany were held to a 1-1 draw against Italy, and will make several changes to their starting 11 for this match.
