Having earned four points from his opening two games as manager of England, albeit against lacklustre opposition, Gareth Southgate certainly seems keen to stamp his authority on the national team, with a potential surprise call up for Middlesbrough midfielder Adam Forshaw for upcoming fixtures against Scotland and Spain certainly a move from left field.

England face their great rivals Scotland at Wembley next weekend, before hosting the 2012 European Champions, with Forshaw's team mate at the Riverside Stadium Ben Gibson reportedly also in contention for a first cap.
Gibson has impressed for England's Under-21 side, including a spell under the leadership of Southgate, and new boss has been keeping a close eye on the duo's recent performances.
England were light in the midfield for their recent double header against Malta and Slovenia due to injuries to Danny Drinkwater, Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley, wish has forced Southgate to look elsewhere.

Forshaw's combative style of play could well provide the team with a different style of play, although many feel like it is too soon for the former Everton man.
Forshaw would undoubtedly feel like he had won big at famous Casino if he does receive a call-up this Sunday, with the 25-year-old having previously played at Brentford and Wigan Athletic.

With both Forshaw and Gibson being set to feature for Boro at the Etihad Stadium against table-toppers Manchester City on Saturday, three points against Guardiola’s men along with a first England call-up would certainly cap a perfect weekend for the players.

Forshaw is the heart and soul of the Boro team, and has come a long way since making his professional debut for Everton back in 2009.
The midfielder will now hope to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Jamie Vardy, all of whom have gone from playing in the lower leagues to the international stage with England.

Although, despite recent speculation surrounding a call-up, Forshaw has admitted his surprise at such talk, and while he is flattered at such a possibility, he is fully concentrating on his performances at the Riverside Stadium.

Elsewhere for England, Southgate chose to delay to announcement of his squad to Sunday, with the 46-year-old keen to give Spurs striker Harry Kane as long as possible to prove his fitness for upcoming matches.
Having been out for over a month with injury, Kane could well make his comeback in the North London Derby against Arsenal this weekend, and should he make it through unscathed, will more than likely earn a recall to the squad. Such a move would certainly upset Mauricio Pochettino, with the Argentine already voicing his concerns over such actions.

England sit top of Group F following two wins from three qualifying encounters, and can severely damage Scotland’s chances of qualifying with another three points at the home of English football next week.

Gordon Strachan has recalled Celtic’s Scott Brown to his squad, despite the midfielder retiring from International duty over the summer.
It is still unknown as to whether the Celtic man will resume his international career on a full-time basis, or whether the game against England will be a one off.

Brown is expected to lead Celtic to another championship north of the border this season, with his team having already developed a size-able gap between themselves and the chasing pack.
