The Three Lions come into this game on the back of a 3-0 win against Greece.

England will welcome their arch-rivals Ireland to the iconic Wembley Stadium to wrap up their final group stage fixture of the UEFA Nations League. The Three Lions came away with a solid 0-3 win against Greece away from home in their last outing and will be keen to continue with the same momentum. They are leading their group with 12 points from four wins in five games and are in pole position to get through to the next round.

Ireland on the other hand have enjoyed a mixed run of form. Their failed efforts to maintain stability and consistency can be felt through their position on the table. They are ranked third on the table with just six points from five games. However, they will take motivation from the fact they come into this game on the back of a much-needed victory against Finland. The Boys in Green will need nothing short of a miracle to pull off an upset against the hosts.

Kick-off

Sunday, November 17, 10:30 PM IST

Venue: Wembley Stadium

Form

England (in all competitions): W-W-L-W-W

Ireland (in all competitions): W-L-W-L-L

Players to watch 

Harry Kane (England)

Harry Kane is one of the most in-form players in the world right now. The England international has been on a scoring spree for Bayern Munich across all competitions and is one of the prime candidates to win the European Golden once again. Kane’s pure goalscoring instincts coupled with his dominating physical presence in the box and leadership abilities make him an important part of his national team’s setup. He has 23 goal contributions for the Bavarians this season.

Liam Scales (Ireland)

Liam Scales has been one of the best-performing players for Ireland for quite some time now. The defender has put together impactful performances to take his team over the line. Scales is a rock-solid defender who believes in no-nonsense defending. He will have the task to keep a check on England’s star-studded and overpowered attacking unit. The 26-year-old is a winner when it comes to winning ground and aerial duels.
