England and Germany face off at Wembley on Monday night in a Nations League dead rubber in name only.
In reality, both teams come into their final game before facing the winter World Cup in Qatar desperately seeking a confidence boost and an injection of positivity into their atmosphere.
Defeat to Hungary on Friday night ended Germany’s hopes of qualfiying for the latter stages of the tournament while England were relegated to League B after losing in Italy, lengthening a winless run that includes a long stretch without a goal in open play.
The pressure is on Gareth Southgate, as well as Hansi Flick, to use this game to make up for lost time in preparing a side that can challenge for the World Cup trophy.
