England

England manager Gareth Southgate talking to Sky Sports: "We've talked about backing up Sunday's win since practically straight after the game. The big sides back up results with consistency and that's the challenge for us tonight.

"On Sunday, our possession was well controlled, our work without the ball was well controlled and when we didn't have the ball we almost able to dictate the game without the ball and in big games I think that's important. Tonight is about adding a bit more guile, threat and creating more chances on goal.

"We need to make more of the positions we take up, get our wing backs higher up and get more threat from them. We need to make more runs in behind and more interchanges of position. We're going to have a bit more clever tonight, in our movements, against a 4-3-3."

It's a year to the day since the England team were victims of horrendous racist abuse in Bulgaria during a European Championship qualifying match in October 2019.

During a comfortable 6-0 victory the team were subjected to monkey chants and Nazi salutes from home supporters. Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings, making his debut on the night, was the first of the players to report abuse to the match officials. Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling was also targeted early on in the match.

Former England striker and pundit Ian Wright called it a "seminal moment" and the world's football media reacted with widespread praise for England and condemnation of the abuse.

One year on, Gareth Southgate and England coach Chris Powell spoke exclusively to BBC Sport about their memories of that night and the changes that have since been made.

Good question Ben, I'll let you know how I'm feeling at half time...

Some might call it conservative - defensive even - to go with two holding midfield players and three at the back against Denmark at home.

It is a selection designed to irritate Jack Grealish's many supporters after his outstanding performance against Wales but manager Gareth Southgate clearly has faith in this system and those of us who thought England's approach was too cautious in the first half against Belgium received our answer with the final result.

It does seem a little over-cautious against Denmark, though.

Sean Turner: Emma, don't know if you mist any of the action but England continue to rain in the group. The only clouds are around selection with some front by a few fans who would be managers, all blowing wind IMO. Welcome back.

NO WEATHER CHAT SEAN! (See 6.37 entry) But nicely done.

It's worth noting (for Gareth Southgate's sake!), there are a few missing from selection tonight.

Eric Dier, who played in Sunday's win over Belgium, misses out because of a hamstring injury.

Tottenham teammate Harry Winks, Everton defender Michael Keane, Leicester winger Harvey Barnes and Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham have also been left out, while Ben Chilwell and Kieran Trippier withdrew on Tuesday.

A pre-existing injury led to the withdrawal of Chelsea's Chilwell, while Atletico Madrid's Trippier left the camp to deal with an FA hearing for alleged betting breaches.

The FA said Trippier had departed the squad "for personal reasons".

Conor Coady talking to Sky Sports: "I've found it amazing so far. I've really enjoyed it, the boys have been fantastic with me.

"It's tough like the Premier League. I've been trying to impress but it's about helping England win games.

"I remember on my first call-up people were telling me about not changing. It's not about trying to impose myself, it's about trying to help England and that's first and foremost.

"No matter what the formation the gaffer plays, we're here to give 110% for England. I play three at the back for Wolves and it's a fantastic formation to play."

New Zealand will not play England at Wembley in an international friendly next month, because of travel and player availability complications.

England were due to host the All Whites on 12 November but New Zealand Football say the game could "potentially jeopardise" their players' careers.

"A number of the team would be subject to quarantine or restrictions on their return home," said NZF.

"This would heavily disrupt their domestic seasons."

New Zealand have not played an international match since their friendly defeat by Lithuania last November.

Underrated and undervalued. Not any more.

The Football Writers' Footballer of the Year and a contender for the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, Jordan Henderson has also been a European and Premier League champion over the past two seasons.

Not bad for a player once considered an expensive flop, told he couldn't run properly and someone the Reds wanted to use as a makeweight in a deal to sign Clint Dempsey from Fulham in 2012.

But, as he could earn his 57th England cap against Denmark off the bench tonight, we look at how he became the heartbeat for club and country and evolved into the leader we see today.

Positivity from Chris in Orpington. That's what we like. A glass-half-full type of man. The total opposite to my glass of rum on a Saturday night.

A repeat of the 2018 World Cup final.

Former Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren starts at the back for Croatia, with Real Madrid's Luka Modric captaining the side in midfield.

D.Coleman: I can’t understand why Jack Grealish isn’t getting a start tonight. What’s he done wrong?

Paul Carney: Incredibly defensive line up to face Denmark at home.

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah became England Under-21s' leading goalscorer as they beat Turkey at Molineux last night to book their place at next year's European Championship.

Nketiah missed an 84th-minute penalty but coolly clipped in a record 14th goal at this level four minutes later.

England went ahead through Huseyin Turkmen's own goal, deflecting Ryan Sessegnon's cross into his net.

Aaron Ramsdale kept out Halil Dervisoglu's penalty, but the Turkey striker netted a consolation late on.

Unbeaten England's qualifying campaign has been exceptional, as they have won seven of their eight games, with their only blemish coming in a surprise 3-3 draw at minnows Andorra last time out.

Aidy Boothroyd's side finish top of Group Three with two games to spare and reach their eighth consecutive European Championship.

Gary Timms: As a Villa fan, I of course have an unhealthy obsession with Jack Grealish. I also maintain huge respect for Southgate. I just can't understand these lineups though. If he thinks the defence needs that much cover, maybe they shouldn't be playing?

Nicholas Walker: Very nervous Spurs fan that wouldn’t mind Kane getting sent off before kick off to avoid injury! Please!

Over a year has passed since England's last defeat - 2-1 against Czech Republic - and since then Gareth Southgate's side have scored 23 goals and conceded just once.

But Southgate says is is "very rare we have a full squad to pick from" and will have to do without "two or three key players" again this evening.

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish - who has two caps but was an unused substitute in the win over Belgium and only makes the bench tonight - has been carrying "a knock", according to Southgate.

"I think he is enjoying the experience and he's enjoying seeing how we want to play and that's slightly different to his club," the manager added.

"Obviously every player has to adjust to that, so he is very much in the frame. He's continuing to prove his position within the squad that's for sure."
