Germany head coach Joachim Low says he can "sense the anticipation among the players" as they prepare to play England in a high-profile friendly at Wembley on Friday night.
Low's side beat England 1-0 when they last met in a friendly at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund in March, the first defeat suffered by Gareth Southgate after he took over from Roy Hodgson.
Germany also proved victorious in their last outing at Wembley in 2013, also a 1-0 win, but Low is not underestimating the threat posed by their opponents.
"You can sense the anticipation among the players. Wembley Stadium has a special feel to it and England are on a level playing field with us," said Low.
"England have a very young team with quick players. They're one of the best sides at transitional play around at the moment."
Low confirmed he may rest Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos as he is unwell, while Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng also misses out.
"Some players, like Toni Kroos and Mats Hummels, are integral parts of our set-up if they are injury-free," added Low.
"Toni Kroos was ill yesterday and only did the warm-up today. I may rest him for a game. I won't take any risks.
"Jerome Boateng won't play."
Low also offered a brief update on Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who is not expected to return to action until 2018 after undergoing surgery on a foot injury.
"He still needs several weeks, but he's on track, so I'm not overly concerned with the situation," he added.
After the game at Wembley, Germany face France in Cologne on Tuesday night.
