England meet Wales for the first time since Euro 2016 when they go head-to-head at Wembley on Thursday night.
The Three Lions won the game 4-1 four years ago, although it was Wales who reached the sales final when England were humiliatingly defeated by Iceland in the second round here.
Surprisingly, this will be the first time England will play at Wembley in 2020.
England’s Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho will miss the game after breaking coronavirus restrictions to celebrate Chelsea striker Abraham’s 23rd birthday last week.
For Wales, Aaron Ramsey will be absent as he is in “fiduciary isolation” with his Juventus teammates after two members of the club staff, both of whom were not players or technical or medical staff, tested positive for coronavirus.

England and Wales have met only five times this century – and those meetings have produced a total of nine goals.
And Gareth Southgate’s inclusion in the last two games has ended 0-0 and 1-0, while Wales have not scored more than twice in a game since beating Ireland in September 2018.
