England may have already booked their place at the 2022 Qatar World Cup but Gareth Southgate will be keen to make the most of every game between now and the start of the tournament this winter.
The first of those comes against Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday afternoon, in what is the Three Lions’ first match of the year.
Both sides qualified for the World Cup by winning their respective qualifying groups, with the Swiss turning heads by finishing above European Champions Italy.
That will leave them high in confidence but England have not lost to Saturday’s opponents since 1981 – a record that Southgate will be determined to see maintained.

Our prediction: England v Switzerland
Southgate is nothing if not loyal to those who regularly perform in an England shirt and for that reason, you feel it could be a very familiar XI that starts against the Swiss at Wembley – with the likes of Harry Maguire and John Stones included despite difficult domestic seasons.
This may only be a friendly but with competition for places high ahead of this winter’s World Cup, every single player is going to be hungry to prove their worth.
Switzerland showed their quality during World Cup qualifying and at EURO 2020 but England at Wembley and an in-form Harry Kane may just be too much for them to handle.
Our prediction: England 3-1 Switzerland (14/1 at Bet365)
