Turkey vs Iceland: Confirmed Line-ups – Crystal Palace & Tottenham target starts upfront
Turkey take on Iceland at the Yeni Eskişehir stadium in their penultimate World Cup qualifier.
Crescent-Stars manager Mircea Lucescu has named a similar side to the one that beat Croatia in their last game.
Hakan Calhanoglu is out suspended, while in-form defender Serdar Aziz and Roma starlet Cengiz Under were surprisingly not included in the match-day squad.
Lucescu has decided to give Crystal Palace and Tottenham target Cenk Tosun a starting role.
A source close to Besiktas revealed to Turkish-Football that both clubs have been scouting the in form striker.
Tosun scored the winning goal in the 1-0 win over Croatia in the last qualifier.
Trabzonspor striker Burak Yilmaz will provide additional firepower up front.
Barcelona winger Arda Turan will start out wide with Emre Belozoglu, Nuri Sahin and Oguzhan Ozyakup in midfield.
The defence will be comprised of Caner Erkin and Kaan as full-backs and Freiburg centre-back Caglar Soyuncu as well as Mehmet Topal as centre-backs.
Turkey will overtake Iceland who are currently second in Group I with a victory tonight.
