Victory would set up a final in Porto on Sunday evening against either Switzerland or the host nation to decide the winners – with the third-fourth place-play off scheduled for earlier in the day.

Heaton is one of three goalkeepers in Gareth Southgate’s squad following his return to international duty earlier this season.

One of 29 Burnley players to represent England – four of whom are currently at Turf Moor – only seven Clarets have been capped more times than Heaton, who has three senior appearances to his name.

And Heaton’s involvement in the Nations League bring back memories of previous international forays for Burnley’s proud Lions.
