England resume their Nations League campaign needing just a point from their last two fixtures to qualify for the quarter-finals in March.

Thomas Tuchel’s side take on Croatia at Wembley Stadium and will be full of confidence given they won the last meeting between the two teams 7-0 only last month.

The Three Lions are three points behind leaders and World Cup winners Spain in group A3 and have the best goal difference in the group, having scored 14 and conceded three - all to Spain - in their fixtures in this campaign so far.

They take on the world champions in their final fixture of this group stage, while Croatia will face the Czech Republic, with both games on Sunday.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is England v Croatia?

England take on Croatia at Wembley Stadium on Thursday 12 November, with kick-off at 7.45pm GMT.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on ITV1, with coverage from 7pm GMT. A live stream will be available via ITVX.

Team news

Newly crowned Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane is set to mark his return to England duty in style; he will break the record he shares with Peter Shilton for all-time international appearances if he wins his 126th cap this week.

Marc Guehi withdrew from camp with injury and Ezri Konsa is sidelined for the Croatia game, although it is hoped he will be fit to feature against Spain. Dan Burn and uncapped Bournemouth defender James Hill have come into the side as replacements.

Jobe Bellingham and Fulham’s Josh King have been handed their first England call-ups, but Myles Lewis-Skelly is banned after accumulating too many yellow cards.

Croatia will be without Ivan Perisic - absent for the same offence - as well as the injured quintet of Josip Sutalo, Martin Pongracic, Andrej Kramaric, Franjo Ivanovic, and Kristijan Jakic.

Predicted line-ups

England XI: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Branthwaite, Hall; Rice, Anderson; Rogers, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane

Croatia XI: Livakovic; Stanisic, Vuskovic, Caleta-Car, Gvardiol; Modric, Kovacic; Vlasic, Mario Pasalic, Baturina; Budimir
