Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe is set to lead England's attack in their World Cup qualifier against Lithuania.

The Sunday Mirror says Defoe will complete his remarkable England comeback when he leads the attack against Lithuania.

England boss Gareth Southgate has picked 34-year-old Defoe as the shock choice in his starting line-up for Sunday's Wembley showdown.

Defoe has not played for England in nearly four years but his red-hot form for Sunderland this season has earned him a recall.

Sunderland veteran Defoe, whose last appearance came against Chile in November 2013, has scored 19 goals in 55 caps.
