That is your lot from us.

But don't fear, we are just 90 minutes from kick off at Wembley and our live text page for the match is just getting started.

Head here to follow along on our website.

We'll be back in the morning with all the post-match reaction and talking points.

See ya!

Quite the day here on the football live page.

Kick off is fast approaching at Wembley and our reporters have been working hard to answer your final few England and Wales related questions.

Let's take a look at some of things you might have missed:

England

• 'I do not think that Tuchel dislikes Wharton'

• 'Kane absence shows just how important he is'
• 'Anderson has temperament and technique for international football'
• 'I have no problem with Tuchel not picking Bellingham'
• Do England need more games against the World's elite?

Wales

• 'Bellamy will go strong, but will protect his players'
• England and Wales combined XI - which Welshmen make the cut?
• Why is Bellamy more likeable as a coach?
• Who is to thank for Wales' progression?
• 'Wales have been much poorer than they will be tonight'

We have taken a look at how the two squads compare.

Thomas Tuchel is also set to hand Ollie Watkins his first international start since November with Declan Rice selected to captain England at Wembley.

Adrian: We all know Thomas Tuchel has just one ultimate target/brief, but realistically are England able to get to at least the World Cup semi-finals in the hot and humid conditions with the current squad?

Phil: Afternoon, Adrian. The million-dollar question. You’re right, he only has one brief and that is to win the World Cup. He’s got an 18-month deal and my belief is that he will be gone after that, whether he wins the World Cup or not.

Yes, conditions will be testing but the Football Association will leave no stone unturned to ensure England’s squad is fully acclimatised. They have quality in the squad, so I think the quarter-final must be the very minimum requirement. The rest could depend on how the cards (and the draw) fall. Last four? Time will tell on that.

Last eight minimum though.

Ben: With all World Cup qualifying games now being so easy, why are we playing Wales? No disrespect, and Bellamy is doing a great job, but would it not make more sense to use this opportunity to try and play against some of the bigger hitters in international football?

Phil: Hello, Ben. Whenever anyone says “no disrespect”, I always sense some disrespect coming and I think you have shown a bit to Wales there.

It is a friendly which Tuchel wants to be competitive. Wales always compete when faced with England, although the main focus is on Latvia on Tuesday in Riga. I think it will be competitive.

Not sure Thomas Tuchel is reading this live text, but if he is....

The BBC Sport audience want Jack Grealish on that plane to the World Cup.

Adrian: Assuming England are in the later stages of a World Cup, how do they overcome teams like Spain, France, Portugal and Argentina tactically? It is unclear at this point what Thomas Tuchel's England style is or what it might turn out to be.

Phil: It will be very interesting to see how England evolve over the next few games but this is where Tuchel will really earn his money as the countdown to the World Cup begins.

He has been a fan of three central defenders in the past so will he try that? I think all will be revealed over the next few games, but at least England took a huge step forward in performance with the 5-0 win against Serbia in Belgrade.

Stephen: Is Wales' progression from being ranked over 100th in world in last 10/15 years due to a "golden generation" or something more sustainable?

Dafydd: I think both those things have been responsible - and they’ve been mutually beneficial for one another.

Gary Speed was in charge when Wales hit their all-time ranking low of 117th in August 2011 but he played a big role in their subsequent rise. Whether it was upgrading facilities or fostering a more professional mindset, Speed helped the Football Association of Wales modernise.

The golden generation of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey were already on their way through and, by the time Euro 2016 came around, they were at their peak.

FAW bosses have been on record to say how transformative those Euros and subsequent major tournament qualifications have been for Welsh football. Participation and interest has surged, and they’ve reinvested a lot of the money generated back into all levels of the game in Wales.

On and off the field, this is still a golden era for Welsh football.

Just like the options they have in midfield, England are blessed with plenty of attacking talent out wide.

Jack Grealish's move to Everton in the summer has seen a return to form and he won the Premier League player of the month in August.

We've been here before, but let's have a quick thumbs vote.

Should he be in the England squad next summer?

Up for yes, down for no.

Charlie: What does Grealish have to do to get into this squad?

Phil: Hello, Charlie. Jack Grealish has made an outstanding start at Everton and Thomas Tuchel is a fan, but he needs to keep making his case through strength of performances to fight past some stiff competition.

Grealish cannot do any more at the moment. He looks re-born at Everton.

Nick: Would the game feel different if it was being played in Wales?

Dafydd: Around 8,000 Wales fans are making the trip to Wembley tonight, so I’m sure they’ll make their presence felt.

The atmosphere at England’s home ground can often be a little subdued but perhaps a rare meeting with their neighbours might liven the place up.

It would certainly have a different feel at a smaller, sold-out Cardiff City Stadium, where Wales fans always back their team loudly and passionately. Wales have a strong record there, and it will be bouncing when Belgium visit on Monday for an important World Cup qualifier.

Jack: Why does England have a history of mostly picking players from the top five or six teams and not if they are playing well?

Phil: Hello, Jack. This is because invariably they are the best teams, but I think Thomas Tuchel has shown with his latest squad that he will be picking on performances and is prepared to reward performances with loyalty – so maybe we will see a different approach to the one you are clearly not a fan of.

England could score for the 17th match in a row on Thursday, a feat they last achieved in 1991.

They scored 27 times during that run in the early 1990s, compared to 36 goals from their past 16 games – starting with Jude Bellingham’s overhead kick to equalise in stoppage time against Slovakia at Euro 2024.

There have only been three instances of England’s men having scoring streaks lasting more than 17 matches.

The top two are well out of reach at present. Those runs of 52 and 32 games in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were split by a single goalless draw in March 1902.

The opponents in that fixture? Wales.

England had a penalty saved in that game but The Times reported: “Had luck favoured the Welshmen they might well have won, as, indeed, they deserved to, for they had distinctly the larger share of the play, but the uneven turf on the Wrexham Racecourse, which is practically in furrows, was all against accurate shooting.”

Cai: Is this the prime time to play the younger lads to get a taste of international football as the game is only a friendly?

Alex: Hi Cai, I would usually agree that friendly matches are a good time for that but with it being World Cup year and only Tuchel’s fourth squad, he can’t risk it. There will be chances for individuals who are doing well but I don’t expect we will see wholesale changes in any of the games in the lead up to the World Cup.

Paul: I am English. In a combined England/ Wales team since 1950 who would you pick? I will start you off with John Charles ( equally great at Centre half or Centre Forward) .

Dafydd: A good contentious topic for a pub debate, this one!

I couldn’t speak with much authority on anything pre-1997 but Neville Southall, Gareth Bale, John Charles, Ian Rush and Ryan Giggs would all arguably be in the debate. Not exactly controversial to suggest England would make up the majority of most combined XIs!

England have won their past seven meetings against Wales and are only on a longer current winning streak against Luxembourg, Andorra and San Marino – who are all 96th or lower in the Fifa rankings.

It’s England best run against Wales since also earning seven straight victories from 1908 to 1914. Their only longer winning sequence in this fixture spanned nine matches from 1886 to 1894.

The current run began with a 2-0 win in a World Cup qualifier in 2004, their first meeting in 20 years. Wales’ only goal during this ongoing run of defeats came during Euro 2016, courtesy of a Gareth Bale free kick. The Three Lions won that game through Daniel Sturridge’s stoppage-time goal, and most recently beat Wales at the 2022 World Cup.

England are some way off their longest ever winning streak, a run of 12 wins against Ireland from 1882 to 1893 and Northern Ireland from 1928 to 1946.

Marcus: Do you think England can win the World Cup?

Alex: Hi Marcus, in a short answer – yes. England definitely have the quality to win the World Cup, but as we have seen in their last few major tournaments the margins are so small. In the last couple of tournaments the squad has spoken about how the experience of going deep in tournaments helps. A large part of the squad next year will have had experience of what it is like to deal with the pressure of those big games.

Thomas Tuchel is also excellent in knockout matches and tactically very good too. The biggest challenge alongside the pressure will be the heat!

Dan: Do you think this is the biggest gulf in quality between the nations for years?

Dafydd said: England are strong favourites for a number of reasons but Wales are still in the midst - if perhaps not at the very peak - of the most successful period in their history. Including their momentous run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, Wales have qualified for three of the five most recent major tournaments, having previously only ever played at the 1958 World Cup.

Contrast that with August 2011, when Wales reached an all-time ranking low of 117th in the world. A month later, they pushed England close in a 1-0 defeat at Wembley, a sign of better things to come under then manager Gary Speed. That was not a vintage England team - and this current one is far superior - but whether it’s the early parts of this century or the late 1990s, Wales have been much poorer relations to their neighbours than they are tonight.

Wales will have the weight of history against them at Wembley later.

They have won just one of their 24 away games against England since the end of the Second World War - and that was back in 1977.

Wales are also winless in their last 11 away friendly matches, since a 1-0 victory in Denmark in 2008 in which current head coach Craig Bellamy scored the winning goal.

Bellamy has already referenced the market value and strength in depth of England’s squad in the build-up to this contest but if Wales are to arrest their wretched record in this fixture, they may need to rely on two of their in-form regulars to upset the odds.

Fulham winger Harry Wilson and Stoke City wide-man Sorba Thomas have both starred since Bellamy took over as head coach in July last year.

Wilson has scored six goals, twice as many as any team-mate during this period, along with providing two assists.

Sorba leads Bellamy's Wales for assists with four, while the 26-year-old has created the most chances of any player – with Wilson just behind in second.

Wilson has also made the most successful passes in the final third for Wales.

Full-back is a potential area of vulnerability for England with Nico O’Reilly in contention to start at right-back when most of his club football for Manchester City this season has come on the opposite flank.

Is this where Wales should attempt to target England? Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

Jon: With international friendlies becoming increasingly rare, should England now be targeting one-off games with the strongest sides in the world, especially with the World Cup next year? England haven't played Argentina for nearly 20 years, and as the reigning World Champions, surely this would be a more suitable test?

Alex: Hi Jon, England do want to challenge the best sides in the world, it’s one of the challenges before a major tournament as qualifying can be so straight forward. The Nations League was created to give that competitive feel and to play the bigger nations but England were relegated so it does feel like it has been a while since they have played high quality opposition.

England will fly to the USA before the World Cup for a training camp so there is the possibility they try to play a stronger nation but they will also be preparing for the tournament so that could be hard. The travel is also a factor but I agree, it would be good to see Messi at Wembley. I don’t believe he has ever played against England.

D: After recent performances is Elliott Anderson a certain starter for England? Looks so assured on the ball.

Phil: Hello, D. So many things can change when we talk about people as certain starters, but Elliott Anderson had two top-class games against Andorra and then in Serbia. He could not have done any more, so you would say he has put himself in prime position to start.

He looks to have the temperament and the technique for international football. No wonder Eddie Howe was so upset Newcastle United had to sell him to Nottingham Forest comply with financial regulations.
