Harry Kane will hope to be rewarded for his fine form by being included in the England squad when it is announced at lunchtime.
The 21-year-old is the top English scorer in the Barclays Premier League and last month Roy Hodgson all but confirmed the striker would earn his first call-up for the upcoming double-header against Lithuania and Italy.
"Is he worth a place in the squad now? Of course he is," the England manager said.
''I think he's got the qualities that you're looking for in a centre forward.
''If you can be a star at a top team like Tottenham at the age of 21 then you're doing pretty well.''
Unless Hodgson has had a dramatic change of mind in the five weeks since he made those comments at a briefing in London - and there is no reason to suggest he has - then 26-goal striker Kane will be included in the squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley on March 27 and the friendly in Turin four days later.
Kane is not the only uncapped striker who has been tipped to be included in the squad, which will be announced by Hodgson at Wembley at 1230.
QPR's Charlie Austin and Burnley forward Danny Ings have been backed to move up to the senior side while Saido Berahino has done his chances of a recall no harm with a run of four goals in his last seven games for West Brom.
Daniel Sturridge is all but certain to return to the squad after missing the last five games because of a thigh injury he suffered at St George's Park in September.
With so many options available to him, it is understood that Hodgson is considering selecting a larger squad than usual.
Up to 28 or even 30 names could be selected.
Manchester United winger Ashley Young is hoping to be one of them.
Young, somewhat surprisingly, has been one of the best players in Louis van Gaal's squad this season.
The last of his 30 caps came in September 2013, but the 29-year-old hopes he can resurrect his international career.
"I will never shut the door on England until I am too old," he said.
"It is always an honour to pull on an England shirt and getting back in the squad would obviously be nice."
Aston Villa's Fabian Delph could earn a recall after overcoming a shoulder injury and Hodgson is also considering whether to hand a debut to Ryan Mason following his successful season at Spurs.
Mason's club-mate Danny Rose, described as "the best English left-back in the Premier League" by his manager Mauricio Pochettino, could potentially replace Luke Shaw, who has struggled for fitness and form of late.
Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker is also in contention for his first England appearance since March 2014.
Ben Foster has been ruled out with a knee injury, so 35-year-old Robert Green may be named in his first England squad since Euro 2012.
The only other English goalkeeper playing regular Premier League football - other than Joe Hart and Fraser Forster - is the uncapped Burnley stopper Tom Heaton.
