England vs Greece LIVE: Nations League results and updates as Palmer and Bellingham both start

Jordan Pickford is having a nightmare. First he decides to leave his penalty area to take control of the ball and then takes too long to decide what to do with it.

He passes the ball to his opponents who then hurl the ball towards goal and Pickford's blushes are spared but Levi Colwill clears the ball off the line!

After the resulting corner, Pickford decides to go get the ball. He misses the ball and the ball is poked to Konstantinos Mavropanos who hammers it into the net, causing the offside flag to go up!

Konstantinos Koulierakis collides with Jude Bellingham, who gives him a free ball. He moves the midfielder to the right side of the pitch, just outside the penalty area.

The defender receives a yellow card and will miss the next game.

Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold stand over the ball. It is Palmer who takes the shot and lands the ball right on the roof of the net.

England falter on the counterattack after Bellingham loses the ball. Greece rushes forward quickly and passes the ball to Vangelis Pavlidis.

The striker checks to the right and circles the ball into the bottom corner. He strikes well, but Jordan Pickford is not interested and watches the ball go wide.

3 minutes: Rico Lewis releases Jude Bellingham on the left side of the pitch and the Real Madrid star tries to shoot into the box. He loses the ball, but it comes to Anthony Gordon, who rolls a pass to Cole Palmer.

Palmer tries to shoot the first time but misses the ball.

The ball comes back to Bellingham, who turns and deflects the shot on goal, whereupon Odysseus Vlachodimos jumps to the left and pushes it past the post.

“For a game that may not be the most significant, there is some debate here at Wembley about whether Lee Carsley’s lineup is the most revolutionary England have ever had.”

“It’s certainly a historical landmark.

“It could be the first time England start a game without a traditional striker or number nine. In the context of modern football this may not be so remarkable, but for the national team it is. England simply always had a nine, and not just tactically.

“There has always been this defined frontman. In this sense, is Harry Kane the last, perhaps the end of a line that stretches through Jimmy Greaves and Geoff Hurst to Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer?

“His place here was taken by Jude Bellingham, who started out as a false nine – although there is a related question: At what point does a false nine become just… a nine?”

“The game will show it. This low-key historical moment could be the future.”

Before the start of this Nations League game there will be silence in memory of George Baldock, who died yesterday at the age of 31 in Athens.

Then England gets rolling.

England captain Harry Kane has scored 26 goals in 26 competitive home games for the Three Lions and has scored in each of his last six such games (nine goals) – second only to Steve Bloomer (1895-1899) and Wayne Rooney (2012-2015). ) have ever scored a goal in seven consecutive competitive games for the nation.

Kane has been involved in 28 goals in his last 28 games at Wembley for England (25 goals, three assists) and has scored 14 goals in his last 14 games at the venue.

John Stones is captain of the England national team this evening and will play in central defense against the Greeks alongside Levi Colwill. Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka are all in the starting XI and this promises to be a free attacking game.

We're about to find out…

When Lee Carsley decided to use Cole Palmer as an attacking midfielder for England's Nations League game against Greece, attention quickly turned to how he could be used to get the best out of the Three Lions team – and why he was so could be an important player.

But it's just the start of a journey that must make him an important part of the plans, whether Carlsey takes over permanently or not. That is the opinion of former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, who highlighted Palmer's mindset and technical qualities as key to his impressive performance character.

“There’s no way I’m going to say something like that again!”

Carsley then insightfully laid out a vision for the position – “not like a traditional Ashley Cole thing” – touching on a much larger discussion about the striker.
