England should certainly field fewer mounted knights, as they tended to fight dismounted. However, I think most Catholic factions get their own chivalric knights - I've seen screenshots labelled "English knights" (n.b. "Polish knights" are just chivalric knights in terms of stats, with the faction specific name). I also hope England gets Norman knights, which should be somewhat superior feudal knights. They'll probably also get hobilars, mounted sergeants and will get demi-lancers. I suspect their weak selection of cavalry will be like in MTW - they'll lack any missile cavalry and won't get Gothic knights (demi-lancers look to have a lot of plate armour, but will still be lighter than the the Gothic knights).
If this were RTW, lack of cavalry would be a major disadvantage. But the indications are that cavalry will be weakened in M2TW, so I don't think the English will be that disadvantaged. Historically, dismounted knights were able to hold off mounted knights fairly easily - hence the French started to dismount during the Hundred Years War.
