Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott start in the centre of defence for England.

Roy Hodgson has opted for Phil Jagielka to fill the void left by John Terry in the heart of England's defence in tonight's match against Ukraine.

The 20-year-old will start alongside Joleon Lescott, rekindling their partnership from their days at Everton.

It's an otherwise unchanged team for the Three Lions, with Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard starting in midfield and Jermain Defoe leading the line alone.

Meanwhile, Denys Garmash makes his international debut in midfield for the visitors.

Roman Zozulia wins his third cap, and will be supported from the midfield by Yevhen Konoplyanka.

England: Hart; Johnson, Lescott, Jagielka, Baines; Milner, Lampard, Gerrard, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Cleverley; Defoe

Ukraine: Piatov; Gusiev, Khacheridi, Rakitskyy, Selin; Tymoshchuk; Garmash, Yarmolenko, Rotan, Konoplyanka; Zozulia
