The Three Lions boss has acted quicker than expected to whittle down the provisional 33-man squad he named late last month to a list of 26 final players for the tournament, which was confirmed on the eve of this second warm-up game.
Given this is the final fixture before they play Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16, Southgate is expected to go much stronger for the Iceland clash.
England are one of the favourites for the European Championship and it will be fascinating to see if they can finally deliver in what is expected to be Southgate’s final tournament at the helm.

England vs Iceland prediction
Results are clearly not the most important thing in the world in these games and England could be forgiven for not risking any injuries, but it would be a surprise not to see them beat their Euro 2016 conquerors with a strong team.
