Team News

Ireland
England
  • The hosts will be expected to continue in a familiar 3-4-3 set-up here.
  • Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins and Phil Foden have all withdrawn from the England squad, owing to fitness concerns, or illness in the case of the latter.
  • In the absence of Palmer and Foden, Jack Grealish could be handed a first England start since November 2023.

Prediction

  • Ireland and England meet for the first time in nearly four years, and the first competitive encounter since European Championship qualifiers in 1991.
  • In their last four meetings - all friendlies - there have been three draws and one England victory.
  • England have not beaten Ireland away from home since a friendly in May 1964.
  • The visitors will be expected to come away with victory here, though it may prove a tougher test than anticipated.

  • @Marbella Your prediction was great. You predicted the English team to win well. Well done to you.

  • Kane +130 / Saka +333 TSA

  • And Szmodics to score.

  • @Geolardo Szmodics is deff a beast

  • 1-4 England, Kane, Saka, Gordon, Grealish to score.

  • Has anyone used the whoscored telegram 9.99 month tips service ? Just asking as they do not reply when asked for past results.

  • @Marbella A very useless service. Their success rate is slightly above 50%

  • @0708915762 I guessed as much :)

  • Interim England manager Lee Carsley says he will NOT sing the English national anthem before the game.

  • 1-1 England make a meal of it…
