    A banner is unfurled showing Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka with the words "WALK TALL". Too right.

    Wembley is also partaking in a minute of applause for those England players recently lost, including Paul Mariner and Terry Cooper.

    The English anthem gets the usual treatment. Sung loud and proud.

    Respect shown to Andorra's anthem. Their keeper can't help a little nervous glance at the camera as it moves along the line. He knows what is likely to come in the next 90 minutes.

  10. 'What a reception for Saka'published at 16:54 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Wembley

    Bukayo Saka's last Wembley experience was the heartbreak of missing the last penalty in England's Euro 2020 final loss to Italy but what a reception he received from the home fans here today when his name was read out.

    He is celebrating his 20th birthday today and he will be guaranteed a very warm welcome when he comes out.

  11. Southgate you're the one...published at 16:53 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    To think, there was a point when people were very sniffy about Gareth Southgate as England manager. I imagine there are plemty who still are.

    You can't fault his record, though, or the fact that England continue to improve under him. The Hungary game was a great example. There have been plenty of times England have struggled in such games before sneaking a narrow win. But they took control of the game and blew them away in the second half on Thursday.

    Gareth Southgate has won 21 of his 29 matches at Wembley as England manager, the same as Sir Bobby Robson managed in 34 games there.

    The only Three Lions managers to win more at the national stadium are Sir Alf Ramsey (30 matches) and Walter Winterbottom (26).

    The fans are singing in the sunshine. The last rendition of the summer at Wembley.

  13. 'A new chapter at Wembley'published at 16:52 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    England boss Gareth Southgate, speaking to ITV, on the first match back at Wembley after Euro 2020 heartbreak: "We are looking forward to the next chapter and the players are looking forward to playing in front of our own fans again.

    "We know the challenge tonight will be breaking down a packed defence. They are good at keeping the score down and being difficult to score against."

    On what he has told Patrick Bamford: "This is an opportunity - nothing more, nothing less.

    On Trent Alexander-Arnold playing in midfield: "We know he is an outstanding footballer. We have wanted to look at him in a midfield position for a while. We feel this is a good opportunity. We are hoping he can deliver those killer passes that he does."

    When the team sheets were read out the biggest cheer from the crowd by far was for Bukayo Saka. The Arsenal player is 20 today and is starting for England for the first time since the Euro 2020 final.

  15. Big ask for Andorra...published at 16:50 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    Andorra have only ever won three World Cup qualifiers. However, one of those was just this week - a 2-0 victory over San Marino - so they do come to Wembley in form, I guess.

    The other victories were 1-0 wins over North Macedonia in 2004 and Hungary in 2017. The San Marino game was also the first time the Andorrans had scored two goals in a World Cup qualifier since a 3-2 defeat to Cyprus in September 2000.

    They have lost 55 of their 57 away qualifying matches for the World Cup and Euros, drawing the other two: 0-0 against Macedonia in February 2005 and 2-2 against Albania in November 2019. In all competitions, Andorra have only ever won one away game, against San Marino in a friendly in 2017.

  16. Proud home recordpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    England v Andorra (17:00 BST)

    This is pretty impressive...

    England have lost none of their last 25 home World Cup qualifiers (W23 D2) since losing 1-0 to Germany in their final match at the old Wembley under Kevin Keegan.

    They have scored 71 goals across these unbeaten games and conceded just 11 times.

    Granted, they've handed out some serious hammerings to sides like Andorra in that run.

    As I'm sure you can guess, England have won all four of their international matches against Andorra.

    They have done so by an aggregate score of 16-0, with this today their first match against them since a 6-0 home win under Fabio Capello in June 2009. That result was achieved during that relentless march to the 2010 World Cup finals. And as we all know, that ended brilliantly.

    Wayne Rooney scored a couple, as did Jermain Defoe.

    Andorra are actually one of only four international nations that England have faced as many as four times without conceding a single goal, along with Estonia, Lithuania and Moldova.

  18. 'England's players will never get over final defeat'published at 16:45 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England's players are going to have regrets. Losing a major final - most of the players in the dressing room I suspect will never get over that.

    I lost a Uefa Cup final at Celtic and I still think about it to this day what might have been.

    The only way they can banish that is to try and go on and win a major tournament in the future.
