"We're looking forward to playing at home against Estonia. It's the first competitive match at Strawberry arena. We've made some changes compared to last time, as the matches come quickly and we want to maintain a high energy in the group and at the same time give more players a chance, so we can create a winning team with many players involved", says Dahl Tomasson to the football association's website.

Starting eleven: 12. Viktor Johansson – 2. Alex Douglas, 4. Isak Hien, 5. Gabriel Gudmundsson – 16. Niclas Eliasson, 18. Yasin Ayari, 14. Anton Salétros, 21. Dejan Kulusevski, 13. Ken Sema – 17. Viktor Gyökeres, 9. Alexander Isak.

Alex Douglas, debutant on Thursday, gets to continue in the backline.

Missing from the eleven on Thursday are Ludwig Augustinsson, Anthony Elanga, Mattias Svanberg, and Linus Wahlqvist Egnell.

Dahl Tomasson chooses to play in a 3–5–2 formation.

"Niclas and Ken are used to playing as wingbacks, which they will do tonight", says Jon Dahl Tomasson.

The Nations League match at Strawberry arena kicks off at 20.45.
