Cambuur defender Vytautas Andriuskevicius (20/0) is a minor injury doubt, but all other players are fit to face England in the final Euro 2021 qualifier.
Starting goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis (22/0) returns from suspension, but now central defender Marius Zaliukas (29/1) is banned after earning the third yellow card of the campaign.
Newcomers Dziugas Bartkus and Ernestas Veliulis are unlikely to earn their first caps in this particular game, but Deimantas Petravicius (4/0) could again play a part despite the lack of action at club level.
Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Arlauskis – Freidgeimas, Mikuckis, Klimavicius, Slavickas – Novikovas, Panka, Zulpa, Cernych – Spalvis, Slivka.
Get a special price of 5/2 on England to win both halves.
