Scotland continued their winning streak by defeating Cyprus 3-0 on Friday. This victory marked their fifth consecutive win and has positioned them with a chance to qualify for Euro 2024 if Group A results go in their favor. In Larnaca, Steve Clarke made just one change to the established starting line-up by replacing Lyndon Dykes with Che Adams.

In addition to the Southampton man, John McGinn from Aston Villa and Scott McTominay, who is the joint top scorer in Euro 2024 qualifying, continue to impress. Billy Gilmour and Callum McGregor are also notable players. If Clarke wants to make some changes at Hampden, there are plenty of options available.

The defense, consisting of captain Andy Robertson, Kieran Tierney, Ryan Porteous, Jack Hendry, and Aaron Hickey, has not conceded a goal from open play in these qualifiers. However, it remains to be seen if Nathan Patterson from Everton or John Souttar from Rangers will be given some playing time against England.

England struggled to break down Ukraine during their 1-1 draw in Poland on Saturday, with Kyle Walker scoring his first international goal to cancel out Oleksandr Zinchenko's opener.

Gareth Southgate granted Harry Maguire a starting position, despite the fact that the Manchester United player has not yet started a league game this season. Similarly, Jordan Henderson, who recently made a move from Liverpool to Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq, was also given a starting berth. Additionally, James Maddison, the in-form Tottenham playmaker, took up an unfamiliar role on the left wing.

Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah have received their first call-ups and are eagerly awaiting their debuts. Additionally, Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace could potentially make his first start for the Three Lions.

Steve Clarke: We're not there yet

Speaking after the triumph in Cyprus, Scotland manager Steve Clarke expressed, "We adhere to the game-to-game philosophy.

"We have been successful in a series of competitive matches, but I don't dwell on the past. I am aware that in this particular campaign, we have played five matches and accumulated 15 points. That is commendable.

"I believe that in the upcoming three games, we will accumulate a higher number of points.

"We consistently strive to challenge ourselves and avoid becoming complacent. The Scottish mindset reminds us that there may be obstacles or setbacks along the way.

"We said be different to the previous teams and come here to the pot five team and win again. That's your platform to qualify."

There was no Ukrainian knockout punch against the English opposition this time at the Tarczynski Arena, where world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois two weeks ago, but the effort put forth by the Ukrainians was truly heroic.

After starting off Group C with an impressive four consecutive victories, it has become evident that it's only a matter of time before England, who finished as Euro 2020 runners-up, secure their spot at next year's tournament in Germany.

Despite their stellar record of winning 21 out of their last 22 Euros qualifiers, the Three Lions were held to a draw on Saturday evening. Despite Kyle Walker's excellent equalizer to cancel out Zinchenko's early goal, England were unable to capitalize on their momentum.
