Liam Moore and Martyn Waghorn will be hoping to stake a claim for a place in Stuart Pearce's England under-21 squad for next summer's European Championships.
The Leicester City duo will line up in a friendly against Northern Ireland, at Blackpool's Bloomfield Road, tonight as England begin their preparations for the finals in Israel after qualifying against Serbia in the play-offs.
Moore, who has represented England at under-17 level, received his first-ever call-up to the under-21 squad last week.
He was joined by team-mate Waghorn on Sunday night after he received a late call-up following withdrawals.
Waghorn has a 100 per cent record for Pearce's side as England have won all four games in which he has featured. The City striker has also scored twice in an England shirt.
Moore's call-up is reward for his performances this season, which have seen his breakthrough into the City first team.
The 19-year-old started the campaign alongside captain Wes Morgan at the heart of the defence.
Waghorn has recently started to show the type of form which earned him his first England cap just over a year ago after a frustrating time through injury.
Waghorn has started the last two games for City and, while both have ended in a draw, the 22-year-old has impressed and has been unlucky not to score his first goals of the season.
Waghorn is certain the goals will eventually start to flow for both himself and for City.
"The way the boys have been playing we have been on top on and we could have scored five or six," said Waghorn. "It will come.
"It is a bit of a concern that we are not punishing teams but, hopefully, it will just click and, hopefully, I can chip in with a few. We are good players and it will just happen one day."
Waghorn has had to be patient this season for his chance to stake a claim for a starting slot because of the form of Jamie Vardy and David Nugent, but has shown a commendable attitude.
"It is not about sulking, it is a team game and we have some great players," he said. "We have a lot of competition for places, so I am happy to get my chance and I will give 100 per cent.
"Sometimes I might not be great on the ball but I will wear my heart on my sleeve and give my best for the team."
