    Making eight changes and playing Ikechi Anya at right-back? You can't accuse Gordon Strachan of resting on his laurels...

    This is an easy one - right? - but some in our dastardly quiz of blacked-out players from the fixture's past are not so straightforward.

    Take it on here. If you get more than seven consider us impressed.

    Scotland desperately need a win tonight - to revive the qualification campaign, to save the manager's bacon, to bring back some long-lost feelgood to the national team.

    The chances? Scotland are friendless in the betting market. The bookmakers have them at 10-1 to win and it's fair to say that none of the odds-layers are being knocked over in a rush of punters wanting to lump on Gordon Strachan's team. If you fancy a repeat of Wembley 1999 - 1-0 Scotland - you can have 20-1. Generous odds, but business is not exactly brisk.

    It's not hard to see why. Scotland's last truly meaningful win away from home in a qualifying campaign was against France in September 2007 - the James McFadden game.

    San Marino v Germany 919:45 GMT)

    Germany coach Joachim Low says his players are not seeking to break a 104-year-old scoring record when they meet San Marino in Rimini tonight. 

    Group C pacesetters Germany beat San Marino 13-0 in a European Championship qualifier in 2006 and Low was asked whether emulating or beating the 16 goals fired past Russia back in 1912 was a target. 

    "To break the record is not the aim," Low told reporters. "Our aim is to be focused, not to be arrogant, create chances and score goals and take a clear result back home with us." 

    Germany are top of Group C on nine points from three matches and have yet to concede a goal.

    England's Peter Shilton was the clear winner as the most popular goalkeeper in your England and Scotland combined XI, receiving 48 per cent of the vote.

    With 125 caps for the Three Lions over a 20 year period that is perhaps unsurprising.

    Andy Goram, Scotland 'keeper in the 80s and 90s, was the most popular number one from north of the border but some way behind Shilton and David Seaman in the voting.

    Scotland's campaign is hanging by a thread and there's no doubt that all of the players need to be at their best. They need to raise their game. We probably need England to be off their game too. That's the recipe we are looking for and it can happen.

    All attention across England and Scotland will be on Wembley tonight but some are further away than others - 596 miles in fact.

    That is the distance between Lerwick in Shetland and the famous arch in north London.

    In comparison, fans following on the islands off Scotland's north coast are only 228 miles from Torshavn - the capital of the Faroe Islands.

    In fact, followers in Lerwick are actually seven miles closer to Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, where Denmark host Kazakhstan tonight, than they are to Wembley.

    Group F as it stands

    Both of tonight's teams had disappointing results last time out, with Scotland losing 3-0 away against Slovakia and England playing out a goalless draw in Slovenia. 

    England top the group thanks to a fortunate win in Sam Allardyce's sole game in charge against Slovakia and victory over Malta at Wembley last month. 

    Scotland meanwhile have drawn at home with Lithuania and won 5-1 in Malta in their other fixtures, leaving them fourth.

    All week we have been asking you to pick your combined England and Scotland XI from the last 30 years.

    We have added up the results and will reveal the most popular team throughout the build-up to tonight's game. Here's a teaser - only two Scots made the final XI.

    If you haven't had a go at picking your XI you still can using our team selector, but it will not influence the overall results.

  17. Sweeping changes for Scotlandpublished at 18:38 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2016

    England v Scotland (19:45 GMT)

    Captain Darren Fletcher, defender Grant Hanley and midfielder Robert Snodgrass are Scotland's only survivors from last month's loss in Slovakia.

    Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon makes his first competitive start since 2009. Ikechi Anya, warming the bench at Derby of late, is selected at right-back, Rangers skipper Lee Wallace takes over at left-back in the absence of the injured Kieran Tierney, with Andrew Robertson also sidelined, while Christope Berra comes in for Russell Martin in central defence. 

    We knew Scott Brown was returning from his brief self-imposed international exile and the Celtic captain is joined in midfield by club-mate James Forrest and James Morrison, who made his first league start of the season for West Brom last weekend. 

    Leigh Griffiths, who changed his Twitter name to 'Shorty' last month after Strachan suggested his lack of stature counted against him, leads the attack in his first competitive start since 2013.
