Meetings between England and Germany are always eye-catching occasions but the shadow of the upcoming World Cup looms large over Monday’s game at Wembley.

Both teams will harbour hopes of getting their hands on that famous trophy in Qatar and both managers will want to get the most out of their final game ahead of the tournament to help them do that.

The pair could not be split in their first Nations League Group A3 fixture in Munich back in June, with Harry Kane’s 88th-minute penalty cancelling out Jonas Hofmann’s opener, while this is Germany’s first visit to English shores since Gareth Southgate’s side knocked them out of Euro 2020.

But Hansi Flick’s team will be looking forward not backward ahead of Qatar 2022 and have been in ominous form since the last major tournament.

A victory at Wembley would, nonetheless, help them exorcise a few remaining Euro 2020 demons while for the hosts, who have had their struggles this year, there would be no better way to prepare for this winter’s tournament than to beat their historic rivals one more time.

Our prediction: England v Germany

Neither manager will want to lose their last game before the World Cup but more important than the result is getting the most out of their last competitive fixture ahead of the tournament.

With that in mind, we can expect opportunities to be given to a few fringe players or those that need a chance to prove themselves.

Given the way England have set up under Southgate and with tweaks made on both sides, it may well be a game that lacks a bit of fluency and finishes level.

Our prediction: England 1-1 Germany (11/2 at bet365)
