England squad announcement LIVE: Who will be the surprise packages in last group before Thomas Tuchel takes over? Six big names set to miss out as Curtis Jones hopes for a call-up

The international break is often derided for its dead-rubber affairs but the next two games matter for England.

The Three Lions sit second in Nations League B, Group 2, below Greece but ahead of Ireland and Finland.

As well as general pride riding on the line, if England win the next two games, they get to be promoted to the swanky surroundings of Nations League A without needing to wrestle through the play-offs.

But maybe some competitive play-offs would be a good introduction for Tuchel, you could say?

As always, it’s a chance for England’s hopefuls to make a name for themselves in the international setup.
