How much these two dislike each other. There have been meetings in between, but England and Scotland face off at a major international tournament for the first time since Euro ’96.

Expect some fierce challenges and an incredible atmosphere at Wembley.


🔑 Can you give me a key player from each team?

Every position in this England XI is up for grabs – but Mason Mount should be the first name on the teamsheet. The archetypal modern midfielder who can score, create and is wonderfully consistent.

Andy Robertson

Despite Kieran Tierney hopefully returning, Andy Robertson is everything you want in a captain for Scotland. He is a defender, their attacking reference point and never stops battling – a leader by example.
