  England will be confident of picking up back-to-back wins when returning to home soil, but will need to keep an eye on Aberdeen new boy Topi Keskinen. The 21-year-old has been called up to the senior Finland squad for the first time – having previously taken in eight appearances for his country at U21 level.

  He has already been among the goals in Scotland this season, after becoming an £860,000 record signing for the Dons, and knows all about English football as a big fan of Manchester United and their all-time leading goalscorer.

• WHAT KESKINEN SAID

  Keskinen has said of a sporting odd body art that pays homage to his love of fishing and former England captain Rooney: “To be honest, it is not such a wonderful tattoo because I designed it myself. It has become a bigger deal than I thought it would, especially since I moved to Scotland. I have always liked the style of British football. If I get tattoos, I want them to mean something. I was a United fan as a kid and also Rooney – and I also love fishing.”
