Italy vs England: Who to watch? Stars and best players on each team (AS English)

Italy and England face each other again in San Siro with Gareth Southgate's side on the verge of relegation as Italy look to build on youth.

Bellingham moved to Borussia Dortmund for a fee of around €25m in 2020 and has been touted with another transfer for around four times that amount to Manchester United or Real Madrid. A left-footer, he cam also fill in at left back and his versatility has made him a contender to fill the void left by the recent retirement of stalwart Giorgio Chiellini, with Leonardo Bonucci surely not far behind his erstwhile partner. Ciro Immobile has 15 goals in 55 caps and Andrea Belotti 12 in 44, but there is a vacancy and Raspadori is a candidate to fill it. Italy are third in Group A3, a point adrift of Germany and still in with a chance of qualifying for the finals. Mancini’s run of 37 games without defeat remains a record in international football, but should Italy not reach the Nations League finals the federation may decide it is time for a reboot. For Southgate, the problem seems to be his reliance on a fixed group of players with little structural flexibility in his team selections.

Follow the action live as Italy host England in a potentially crucial Nations League match at Milan's San Siro.

Italy host England in the UEFA Nations League at the San Siro, Milan. Wearing it on one of the biggest stages in the world and televised events will have an impact." Foden does precious little with a free-kick inside Italy territory. "He seems in a good place with his training," added the coach. Scamacca links up effectively with Raspadori again and races into space to the right of centre. The last four matches between these sides have ended in a draw. That would send his side to the finals in June 2023 and end Die Mannschaft and Italy's hopes of finishing top, as matters stand. "Italy will be more comfortable with their first half – they've had better territorial possession." Kane tries to take matters into his own hands, fizzing a shot well wide of the angle from distance on the right. Now England have a good chance of their own from a low cross inside the penalty area. At the risk of putting anyone off their dinner, Kane is bleeding from his mouth as he receives treatment. The result means England will join League B irrespective of their result at home to Germany on Monday.
