England have won their last two games, beating Andorra 2-0 and then thrashing Serbia 5-0 away in the team’s best performance under Thomas Tuchel.
The last international break saw Wales lose 1-0 to Canada, but they also beat Kazakhstan 1-0.
England boss Thomas Tuchel: “I believe it will be a difficult and complicated match against a well-coached team. This will be very complicated.
“We have enough time that we don’t need to pay too much attention on the line-up because we have four days in between, that should not be a problem.
“For me not a lot changed in the preparation of the match [with it being a friendly]. I don’t prepare the teams less, I don’t do less meetings or worse meetings. We just play against our own standards and the team set the standards in the last camp.”
Wales head coach Craig Bellamy: “We’re here to come and play. To play our brand of football.
“It’s difficult circumstances at an incredible place like Wembley, but to us it is excitement.
“We’re not here as tourists, to enjoy the occasion. We’re here to be the best version of ourselves, and that allows you to be excited and also to have fun as well.”
