The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another set of matches as England take on Germany on Tuesday, 7 June. The two European giants have impressive players in their ranks, making for an intriguing contest.
England are at the bottom of their UEFA Nations League group after suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Hungary. The Three Lions will be eager to bounce back in this fixture.
Germany, on the other hand, have improved over the past year. But Die Mannschaft were held to a 1-1 draw by Italy in their previous game and will need to be more clinical in this match.
