A minute's silence will also be observed and every player will wear a black armband. Live coverage of the game will be on ITV 1 and ITV 1 HD.
Tuesday's match, which was attended by French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May, was the first senior England fixture with a video assistant referee, who was consulted for Varane's red-card offence and the penalty that resulted from it. Hugo Lloris' blunder in the final minute gifted Sweden the victor as his scuffed clearance was put into goal from the half-way line.
But a Kane penalty soon after the break - accompanied by a controversial decision involving the video assistant referee to send off Raphael Varane - allowed England to equalise, only for Dembele to finally take his chance and net the victor.
England manager Southgate is at pains to point out that he has made no decision on his next permanent captain - but surely there is now no other choice but Kane. The VAR was used in another friendly between France and Spain, with both decisions going against the French. He was the number two before that, hasn't had the amount of game-time perhaps up to now, but we think he can also challenge for the number one slot moving forwards.

By the time the Mets came to bat again in the second inning, they were already behind seven runs due to Wheeler's rough inning. The first baseman drove the second pitch he saw from Zack Wheeler to straightaway center field for a home run.
Dembele was enjoying a growing influence on the game, though, and he was instrumental when France took the lead with only two minutes of the second half remaining. Stoke City's Jack Butland is one of the contenders to play in goal, although he is just back from a long spell out injured. Will it change things for August (against the Netherlands)? I think Gareth will be looking at that, and defensively I don't think he'll like how the team was spread apart. "A team can always be modified". Two magnificent free-kicks from Celtic forward Craig Griffiths gave the Scottish the lead as injury time approached, though questions have to be asked of Joe Hart's positioning as he was twice beaten.
It did not prove to be a costly miss, though, as France's exciting young team saw out a deserved victory to condemn England to a fourth consecutive away game without a win - the first time that has happened since September 2004.
The defeat was a 1-0 loss in Germany and in their last nine matches against top-10 ranked sides (France are 6), England have in fact lost on six occasions. "Those periods you have really got to control possession and stay calm, and I thought we looked more anxious while they went to 10 and they stepped up a level". Tom Heaton has had an outstanding season and we've got to make sure people feel involved. We need to see the reality of where we are, test yourself against the best, so you don't mask where you are in terms of (being) a team.
