Lee Carsley could hand senior debuts to three London-born players in the upcoming Nations League games - but is London the hotbed for talent?
Carsley called up uncapped, London-born trio Noni Madueke, Tino Livramento and Angel Gomes for the upcoming games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland - in addition to West Midlands-born Morgan Gibbs-White.
