reserves:

The named reserves were The Wednesday FC's Tom Brittleton, as well as Fleming. But George Richards and Harold Halse must have travelled.

team notes:

This is the second time that England have named an unchanged side. This despite numerous changes from the original named line-up, Fleming again replaced Everton FC's Bert Freeman and Bridgett again replaced Manchester United FC's George Wall. Neither of which travelled.
Vivian Woodward came straight from captaining the England Amateur side against Switzerland and France.
Bob Crompton extends his tally as England's record appearance holder, in this, the most experienced team England have fielded thus far.
This victory extends the new record of eight away victories in a row.
