Ben Chilwell has cemented his spot in the England line-up as the first-choice left-back for Gareth Southgate's young and talented squad. Meanwhile, Leicester midfielder James Maddison might make his long-awaited bow for England having missed out due to illness last time out. Will England top Group A and secure their spot in next year's tournament?
Portugal
Leicester City new boy Ricardo Pereira has been a revelation since coming in from Portuguese giants FC Porto. The 25-year old has excelled in the full-back role and has two goals to his name in the Premier League. He will feature for Portugal who aim to secure qualification in the ongoing Euro 2020 qualifiers.
Northern Ireland
Jonny Evans has been one of the focal points for Leicester City this season. The Foxes are one of the strongest defensive outfits in the Premier League and have conceded only eight goals from 12 games. Evans will feature for Northern Ireland who are third in Group C behind Netherlands and Germany.
Turkey
A large reason why Leicester haven felt the pinch of Harry Maguire this season has been the strong performances of Turkey youngster Caglar Soyuncu. Soyuncu has 27 caps for the Turkish national team and will look to add to those numbers during this international break. Is he the next big thing to emerge from Leicester's squad?
Denmark
Kasper Schmeichel will join up with fellow Premier League player Christian Eriksen and the rest of his Denmark teammates for the Euro 2020 qualifiers. The Danes are second in Group D behind Ireland who but are level on points (12). They take on Gibraltar and Ireland in their two Euro 2020 qualifiers.
Nigeria
Wilfried Ndidi has been one of the most underrated players in the Leicester City squad this season. The midfielder's tireless efforts ahead of the defenders have been one the reasons as to why the Foxes have been so dominant in the Premier League. He will join up with the Nigeria squad as they take on Lesotho and Republic of Benin in their 2021 AFCON Qualifying campaign.
