Gareth Southgate's side kickoff their double header of matches away in Malta on June 16 before hosting North Macedonia at Old Trafford on June 19.

Malta vs England lineups
Malta only have two players in their squad who do not play their club football in the Maltese domestic league including Notts County striker Jodi Felice Jones.
Malta (3-5-2, right to left): Bonello (GK) — Apap, Borg, Attard — Mbong, Muscat, Guillaumier, Yankam Corbalan— Jones, Satariano
Southgate is likely to shuffle his options between both games on the back of demanding domestic season for the majority of his squad.
His Manchester City players have reported into camp, following their Champions League final win over Inter Milan, but they are expected to only play a limited role in Malta.
England (4-3-3, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Maguire, Shaw — Henderson, Rice, Eze — Saka, Kane, Rashford
Malta vs England odds
England are strongly tipped to win both qualifiers this month, and virtually seal their spot at Euro 2024, with Malta losing both of their games in 2023.
Based on their results against minnows under Southgate this tie is expected to be a high scoring victory.
