England vs Germany - LIVE!
England host Germany tonight at Wembley in real need of a lift ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year. This is the Three Lions’ final match before their opening group-stage match against Iran, with no warm-up friendlies ahead of the tournament getting underway.
It’s a dead rubber in terms of the Nations League, with England already relegated to League B following their defeat to Italy last time out while Germany are unable to catch Roberto Mancini’s side who sit top of the group.
However, Gareth Southgate and his players have to quickly get things back on track before turning their attentions to Qatar, as they come into tonight’s clash without a win in five matches. They have scored just one goal in that run - a late Harry Kane penalty to earn a draw in Munich at the end of last season. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog!
