When: 8:00 pm GMT, 27th March (Tuesday)

Where: Wembley Stadium

Two nations with a bit of history, the most recent of which was Italy beating England in the 2014 FIFA World Cup that resulted in England finishing at the bottom of the group. They didn't enjoy a decent outing in Euro 2016 as well when they were beaten by Iceland in round-of-16.

England have never lived up to the expectations and Gareth Southgate is likely to field a young side full of energy and enthusiasm in Russia in the belief they can go all the way.

Italy have the better head-to-head record, having lost only once in their last five meetings. And despite failing to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, caretaker manager Luigi Di Biagio will be looking forward to impressing his hierarchy when they visit Wembley next week. You can always imagine fireworks when these two clubs meet!
