England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England manager Thomas Tuchel on a year as England boss: It has flown by. I started on January 1 to be honest, I only gave a press conference before that.
We have to keep the thing going. It is most difficult to build a team and find the momentum and the right balance.
"We are on that and we take it very seriously. The last win was a reassurance for us we go in the right direction.

England boss Thomas Tuchel on Harry Kane in the Ballon d'Or: I never know when the Ballon d'Or is and what the ranking is. I'm the last person to see it and know it. I'm not the biggest fan of individual awards because I truly believe you can only win in football, the field is too big as a team player and he stands out in what he does. He should be higher than 13th for sure.

England boss Thomas Tuchel on the rivalry tomorrow: It will mean it's a good atmosphere. I think there will be a lot of Welsh fans here. We play football so hopefully it will be emotional and loud and have the character of a derby. I can imagine what Craig Bellamy tells his players, I think they want to make the most out of their role as an underdog. I can assure them that we will not underestimate them. We know how well coached they are and know we need to be fully focused to not let them develop their quality. If it gets emotional, loud, the better.

England
England boss Thomas Tuchel: I can't give any guarantees for any result but I know how we want to play football and the level we played in the last match is the level we can play. We want to keep our thing going.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England manager Thomas Tuchel on what he hopes to gain from the match: There was a huge chance we would have maybe started with the same squad if it was available. We find other solutions. We had only a very short period of time to prepare for the match. I believe it will be a difficult and complicated match against a well-coached team. This will be very complicated. We have enough time that we don't need to pay too much attention on the lineup because we have four days in between, that should not be a problem. For me not a lot changed in the preparation of the match [with it being a friendly]. I don't prepare the teams less, I don't do less meetings or worse meetings. We just play against our own standards and the team set the standards in the last camp. The guys are so important because they never drop the standards.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England manager Thomas Tuchel: I love that John Stones is in camp. I saw how gutted he was last time when he had to leave. He is a deep thinker, intelligent and very sensitive. It is very good to have him, with Jordan, with Declan, they have an attitude what it takes to be a professional player and a team player.
They have such a high standard, it is infectious and them being in camp means everyone plays to such a high level. It is why John is a top leader.

England
England manager Thomas Tuchel on the discussions around his selection: There will always be discussions. It's on you to ask the question why. You're curious and maybe want to find the story behind it. The decisions are for the players in camp, they are not against the players. I know there is always an angle, we just have to make a choice. It's a good thing we have tough choices to make because we have a huge pool of players and we decided with this camp to stick with the team that had a brilliant camp last time.
Now we cannot start with the same starting XI as against Serbia so it's natural we have changes. The competition is on. I'm not surprised I'm questioned about my decisions, that's the nature of the job. The feedback after the last match was very positive and all the credit goes to the team.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England manager Thomas Tuchel: "You need to accept your role and what being the best teammates is. The only way we can make things happen at the World Cup is if we arrive with a strong team. I watched a documentary with the New England Patriots and there was a quote 'don't collect the best players, we make a talented team.'
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England manager Thomas Tuchel: Harry will miss the game. He got a kick in his last game with Bayern Munich. It was too risky that he gets another kick and will be in an up and down situation pain wise. I think we are convinced he will be ready for the match against Latvia. The options for captains will be one of Jordan Henderson, John Stones and Declan Rice.

Here we go....
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
An expectant media are now waiting for England boss Thomas Tuchel to make his appearance.
Harry Kane's fitness is likely to be one of the first questions...
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 GMT)
There have been plenty of classics between the two sides.
Remember a dancing Daniel Sturridge? Or - for the older generation – Mark Hughes’ impressive debut to earn Wales their last win against England?
Who will be the star of the show on Thursday? Not long to find out now.

England
England defender Marc Guehi on what it would feel like to be captain: I wouldn't say it's a future ambition, as long as I'm pulling on the shirt it's a great opportunity. When you have senior players in the squad, there's no chance I'm taking that armband off them. I'm just happy to be here.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England defender Marc Guehi on whether sorting his personal future is important: For me, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm playing well for Palace there is an opportunity for me to be here. Whether its not sorted or not, it doesn't matter for me
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England defender Marc Guehi on his time at Swansea: It was great, tough because it was the first time going away from home and being in a different place. Learning as much as possible in the men's game. I'm eternally grateful to Swansea.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England
England defender Marc Guehi: I think the result is very important because we want to carry on this unbeaten run and carry on creating amazing moments for ourselves. The performance gives us an opportunity to learn and improve as much as possible for the upcoming qualifiers and hopefully the tournament itself.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
England defender Marc Guehi: I feel I am obsessed and wanting to get better. That is my goal.
The mindset in the group is this not a friendly. This is a chance to show what we can do. This game is definitely not a friendly."
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 GMT)
We have already heard from the Welsh side of things as they bid to beat England for the first time since 1984.
Now it’s time for the Three Lions.
Centre-half Marc Guehi and manager Thomas Tuchel are due to speak and we will bring it to you here.
England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)
Boring. Pointless. Meaningless.
Just three words usually used by many when describing international friendlies.
Not this week though. This friendly is different.
England v Wales? Bring it on.
