England take on Greece in the Nations League
England are set to face Greece at Wembley in a UEFA Nations League clash this evening. It’s the first encounter between the two nations since 2006, and interim manager Lee Carsley is aiming for his third consecutive win in Group B.
Both teams have triumphed in their initial B2 matches, each defeating Finland and Ireland respectively. However, Greece currently leads the group due to their superior goal difference. Despite being the favourites, England will be mindful of their history with Greece, particularly the memorable 2-2 draw in 2002 that secured their World Cup place.
The Three Lions are looking to extend their unbeaten streak against Greece to ten games and boost their chances of returning to the Nations League Group A. Here, the Express break down everything you need to know about the fixture – from its kick-off time to how to watch at home…
What time does England vs Greece kick off and how can I watch?
For those who want to watch the match, it kicks off at 7:45pm at Wembley. Although general admission tickets are sold out, fans can still catch the action live on ITV1 from 7pm or via the ITVX app, reports the Mirror.
Predicted team news
With a flawless record of two victories and no goals conceded in the Nations League B group, it seems likely that Carsley will stick with his winning formula, albeit with a few players returning from injury. Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer, both in top form for their clubs, are expected to spearhead England’s attack, alongside Harry Kane.
Premier League stars Ezri Konsa, Morgan Gibbs-White and Kobbie Mainoo have all been ruled out after withdrawing from the squad due to injuries picked up on club duty last week. Liverpool ace Curtis Jones and Newcastle defender Tino Livramento have been called up as replacements and could make an appearance.
How has England’s journey in their Nations League B group been so far?
England have made a perfect start to their Nations League B group campaign, securing back-to-back 2-0 victories over Ireland and Finland. Declan Rice and Jack Grealish were the goal scorers in Dublin, while a brace from Kane was enough to defeat Finland.
Greece, too, remains undefeated in the group after two wins, also against Ireland and Finland. However, Ivan Jovanovic’s team currently lead the group thanks to their superior goal difference, having triumphed over Ireland 2-0 and Finland 3-0.
