Alex Lozowski is poised to win a first England call-up on Friday, with the Saracens fly-half expected to be included ahead of Danny Cipriani in next week’s training squad in Brighton for the autumn Test series.

Lozowski is expected to be selected as injury cover for his club-mate Owen Farrell, who has yet to feature for Saracens this season because of a back/hip injury. Farrell will be named in the 45-man elite player squad which is also announced on Friday along with other injured players James Haskell, Jack Clifford and Manu Tuilagi, but Lozowski is expected to feature in the two-day camp in Brighton along with Bath fly-half George Ford.
