Nine players in England's squad tonight were at the 2014 World Cup. Adam Lallana, who could return after injury, was also in Brazil when England were knocked out after two games in the group stages.

Tonight's captain Harry Kane, was at the Euros with England but Joe Hart, Jordan Henderson and Gary Cahill, who have all been given the armband under Gareth Southgate, were in the 2014 World Cup squad.

Manchester United duo Chris Smalling and Phil Jones were both in Brazil, as were Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Daniel Sturridge.

Fraser Forster and Raheem Sterling were the remaining two squad members, while John Stones and Jermain Defoe were named on the standby list.

When the draw was made we all thought England should stroll through this group and we have. But it's hard to assess where this team is at compared to the stronger teams.

Everyone went into the European Championships excited, thinking we have a brilliant young team but then we get knocked out by Iceland which was a disaster. Until we get to a major tournament we don't know how good some of these players are. The big question mark will be when they come up against the big nations.

Phil Neville, Ian Dennis, Chris Waddle and John Murray are all in position at Wembley.

Coverage has started on 5 live.

Slovenia’s late arrival has obviously had an impact on their warm-up. Only the 10 starting outfield players and the three goalkeepers are warming up at the moment. Where are the subs?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain out wide is a striking team selection maybe from Gareth Southgate. Until you look for alternatives.

On the bench he has Jermain Defoe, Daniel Sturridge and Jesse Lingard.

Paul Christie: Actually a fan of his but on what grounds does Oxlade Chamberlain get into this England side?

Paul Lawrence: Don't want to sound harsh but England's midfield has v little creativity or pace. Will qualify and then do nothing.

Ardy: Prediction - Scotland 7 Slovakia 0. Barry Bannan hat-trick. Two each for Fletcher & Morrison.

Scotland will not be quite out of it if they draw tonight, but it's worth knowing that Slovakia will secure second place if they beat Scotland and Slovenia lose to England.

That's 0-0 written all over it then!

BBC Sport NI's Richard Petrie at Windsor Park: "Tonight's big match in Belfast brings together the two teams with the most frugal defensive records in the European World Cup qualifying series.

"Both sides have conceded just two goals in the eight matches they have played during the campaign so far.

"Northern Ireland's progress under Michael O'Neill has been built on firm defensive foundations - they have not conceded a goal in a home competitive game since beating Greece 3-1 to qualify for Euro 2016 two years ago.

"The men in green have the chance to equal their best ever run of clean sheets in a row tonight. The record of six matches without conceding coming back in 1986 - the last year Northern Ireland qualified for a World Cup."

A few more teams across the world can qualify tonight.

Germany will qualify if they win or draw in Northern Ireland, Poland will qualify if Montenegro v Denmark is a draw, after their thumping win earlier on.

In South America Uruguay will qualify if they beat Venezuela and Colombia might also qualify – if results go their way.

Will Harry Kane score for England tonight? Can Northern Ireland cause an upset against the world champions? Will Scotland have enough quality to beat Slovakia?

Let us know your thoughts.

England are 37 unbeaten in qualifiers for the World Cup or Euros. They have a good record of making qualification look easy, and a horrible record of making the finals themselves look a cinch.

• Scotland are unbeaten in their last five World Cup qualifiers at home (W3 D2), and have scored at least one goal in seven of their last eight.

Ian Dennis
Speaking on Radio 5 live

No surprise with the England starting XI.

Raheem Sterling is the natural replacement for the suspended Dele Alli.

Expect England to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

I spoke with Harry Kane yesterday and it will be a proud moment for him to lead England out for the first time at Wembley.

Poland, who kicked off against Armenia at 17:00 BST, have gone one step closer to booking their place in the World Cup group stages.

Hull City's Kamil Grosicki scored after just two minutes to give Poland an early lead, before Robert Lewandowski netted a hat-trick.

The Polish skipper has now scored 50 international goals in just 90 games - becoming his country's all time top goal-scorer.

If Montenegro and Denmark draw in tonight's game, Poland will join fellow European sides Belgium and host nation Russia in the group stages.

BBC Sport NI's Richard Petrie: "Windsor Park awaits the arrival of the Green and White Army for what Northern Ireland supporters hope will be another historic night in this corner of south Belfast.

"The National Stadium holds 18,000 fans these days but this glamour home game of the Group C qualifying campaign could easily have been sold out twice over such has been the interest and demand for tickets."
