Despite several injuries, Roy Hodgson is expect to name a dangerous-looking front line for the Three Lions in Turin and our tipster looks at the goalscorer market
With key attacking players missing for England for their trip to Italy, Roy Hodgson has the chance to give Harry Kane his full debut, with the Tottenham striker making an immediate impact on Friday when he scored after 79 seconds against Lithuania. It's expected Kane will line up alongside captain Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott, which looks like a dangerous trio for the Three Lions.
With Italy already announcing their side, making eight changes from the team that drew 2-2 to Bulgaria in their Euro 2016 qualification match, it will be a new-look and somewhat weakened home team, especially in midfield.
It was no surprise to see Kane called up to the senior team when the England squad was announced earlier this month, after the Spurs striker scored 17 league goals in 15 games to take him to 29 for the season in all competitions.
Hodgson's selection was justified almost instantly against Lithuania, as Kane came off the bench to head in England's fourth goal at Wembley. With confidence brimming, the 21-year-old will be eager to make an impact at Juventus Stadium. bet365 price him at 7/1 (8.00) to score first and 13/5 (3.60) to net in 90 minutes.
Heading the betting is Rooney at 11/2 (6.50) and 2/1 (3.00) to score anytime. The Manchester United striker scored yet another goal for the Three Lions on Friday, opening the scoring and reducing the gap to Bobby Charlton's record to just two.

The England captain has been in fine form for his country since the World Cup, scoring seven goals in seven matches, only failing to score away to Switzerland.
Walcott made a late cameo appearance for England last week but will be looking to make a real impact if he is given a starting spot in Italy. It's been a frustrating season for the Arsenal man, who has had to deal with a serious knee ligament injury sustained in January 2014.
Since returning to first-team action over the Christmas period, he's managed to find the net three times for the Gunners. Walcott, who has shown exceptional form when leading the Arsenal line in the past, should relish the opportunity to take a more direct role in the Three Lions side. bet365 price him at 11/1 (12.00) to score first and 9/2 (5.50) to net at any time.
It's tough to look past the man of the moment in Kane, with the 7/1 (8.00) price of him to score first offering plenty of value with bet365.
Of his 19 league goals for Tottenham, 10 of them have been scored first, and with the Italians making a number of changes to their line-up, it's worth taking a chance on Kane to mark his full debut with the opening goal.
